Message from the Principal
Kathy Foster
Hart Family and Friends,
Thank you for supporting our book fair this week. Especially those volunteers who "camped out" in the library. From restocking books to manning the checkout desk, you have been a huge help!
Don't forget that Monday is a holiday for students and staff. It's nice when winter does not interfere with school and we get to enjoy the bad weather days as a holiday.Enjoy the three day weekend.
In case you missed the carpool reminders last week, I am including them again. Please review the information below, and thanks for
We Need Your Help! As you drive your child to school in the morning or pick him/her up in the afternoon, please remember:
*
Drive slowing in the parking lot.
* Carpool Lanes are No Cell Phone Zones
* Be courteous to other drivers.
*
Pedestrians have the right of way in the crosswalk (There are four crosswalks on
south side)
* Pull all the way up to the front of the drop off or pick up lane.
* There are more cars than teachers on duty, so encourage your child to exit the car
when you come to a stop.
* Please take one last look before you begin to move forward in the carpool line.
Happy at Hart,
Kathy Foster

Message from the Nurse
NEW! ILLNESS
Currently, we are seeing a few viruses (kiddos are testing negative for flu and strep) that seem to be gastrointestinal focused. Symptoms most common with these viruses are fever, stomach ache, sore throat, headache, and vomiting. Not all are experiencing all of these symptoms. We are still seeing some Flu and strep, but it seems to be on the decline right now. Some are not experiencing typical symptoms of strep throat such as fever and sore throat (some are only complaining of a headache and/or stomach ache).
Symptoms of the flu may include (but may not be experience by all) are: fever, chills, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, cough, diarrhea, headache, body aches, sore throat. It seems that the most common symptoms with Flu this year are fever, sinus congestion, headache, stomach ache, and eye pressure. We are also seeing allergy related symptoms (due to mountain cedar). Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help protect others.
The most effective way to protect ourselves for coming in contact with bacteria and viruses are:
- Frequent hand washing with soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60 percent alcohol, when soap and water aren't available.
- Avoid direct contact with body fluids of people who are obviously sick
- Be kind and cautious with cough and sneezing--cover mouth and nose and use tissues
- Fever of 100 degrees or higher indicate student should not come to school until 24 hours fever free (without medicine) and additional concerns of illness are best discussed with your Physician
- Do NOT share food, drinks, utensils with others
- Flu shots are available in the community
- Be proactive, contain illness by staying home if you are sick, and prevent the spread of germs
Thank you for your cooperation!
