Kindergarten student Kendra Eddy requested to be allowed to cut her hair in order to give it to Kyra for a wig.
A wig will be constructed using the hair that was provided by Kendra, along with the hair cut from Kyra and Seth before her chemotherapy began.
From the heart of child, comes a gift so profound that it leaves us speechless. May we all embrace God's Love during this trial for Kyra!

Health & Safety Message
Dear Elementary Parents,
I have been reviewing student medical records and have noticed that we are in need of additional information in order to assist some of our students. If your child falls into this category, you will receive a letter with forms to complete.
Please complete the requested forms and return them to the elementary office after Christmas Break. For students who have asthma and have an inhaler at school, parents will need to complete the Asthma Action Plan. One of the recommended ways to check a student's asthma level is to use a peak flow meter. If you do not already have a peak flow meter at school, please provide one for us to use with your child. This will help us ensure your child is getting the proper dosage of medication, per the doctor's instructions.
Sincerely,
Angelia Manuel
Safe School Administrator

Helpful Hints
Should it be necessary for a student to miss school due to a vacation, parents must procure permission from administration 5 days
in advance of the absence by filling out our Planned Absence Form.
Approval of a planned absence is subject to a review of attendance history and academic standing. Failure to receive advance
absence approval may result in an unexcused absence.
The Planned Absence Form is available in the Elementary Office.
