On Thursday we held a Veterans Day concert honoring those who are serving or who have served our country. The concert was put on by our third grade students and had writing, speaking and artistic contributions from our fourth and fifth graders. It was a great way to give thanks to our veterans for their service and sacrifice. |

A Note From the Health Room
Deciding when to keep a sick child home from school can be a difficult decision. To help identify illnesses in our schools, parents/guardians are encouraged to report their child’s specific symptoms when calling in sick to the health room. If your child is not feeling well (fever, harh/hacking cough, very runny nose, fatigue, painful sore throat, vomiting, etc), it is important for them to stay home and rest. When a child is sick at school and not feeling well, it is difficult for them to concentrate in class.
Absences Due to Covid/Quarantine
If a student is ill/absent due to covid or quarantine, asynchronous work will be given to them. In the case of an entire class needing to enter a temporary distance learning environment, then learning will occur synchronously. As in years past and prior to covid, it is important to first focus on resting and feeling well. If your child is feeling well enough to do schoolwork, then please contact your child’s teacher.
It’s Time for Layers!
It's that time of the year when we need to start wearing layers of clothes to school. Please make sure that you start sending your child(ren) with a sweatshirt or coat labeled with their name in case they forget it on the playground. Also, keep in mind that snow pants, boots, jackets, hats, and gloves will be needed in the near future. Please make sure all outdoor clothing is labeled with your child(ren)'s name.

Covid Testing
Home Tests are not accepted for the return to school. All tests must be PCR tests from a test center (ex. Summit Clinical Labs) or health care provider.

The PTO is offering a Holiday Gift Card Program to say "Thank You for all you've done & Happy Holidays" to all of our Cushing teachers, staff and bus drivers. Participation is optional.
Here’s how the program works:
You make a monetary contribution to the teacher/staff members and bus driver of your choice. Your child’s gift is then combined with all other contributions for that particular staff member and the staff member will be presented with one BIG gift card to the stores of their choosing. The gift cards will be presented in a Thank You card that contains the names (NOT the amounts!) of all the families who contributed to the gift.
THIS IS A 2 STEP PROCESS:
STEP 1: Complete this form. Please make sure to complete your family name (EXAMPLE: SMITH FAMILY) then select the teachers you'd like to give to and list the dollar amount (MUST be WHOLE dollar increments - no change please, $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, etc.).
Then total up your order.
Any amount is appreciated!
*Program runs until Wednesday, December 8th*
