Flu Prevention CDC Guidelines
Due to the recent rise in flu we are sharing with you the recommended guidelines from the CDC on flu prevention. Parents can help prevent the spread of flu by emphasizing the importance of cough etiquette and thorough hand washing to their children.
Library Furniture
Big shout out to Ms. Holly for submitting a Donors Choose proposal and to our generous parent community for funding some fantastic new furniture for the Lycée Johnson library. Furniture should be arriving soon for our students to enjoy while they read and learn at school. 
Pikmykid Update
Unfortunately the roll out of this new dismissal platform has been slower than desired and we appreciate families’ understanding and patience. At this point we are working out the details internally with unaccompanied walkers and bussing before we tackle carpool and walk ups. There is no change from the parent end at this point - more to come!
