A MEMO FROM NURSE CHRISTINE CIVELLO

Winter illness season has begun. We do not have a large number of students who are ill, our hope is to keep everyone as well as possible.
                
Please keep your student home if they aren’t feeling well, even if they don’t have a fever. Students must stay home if they have a temperature of 100 degrees or higher or are vomiting. 
 
Please note that students should not return to school until they are fever free for 24 hours, without fever reducing medication. For gastrointestinal illnesses, please do not send your child to school until they have not vomited for 24 hours.
 
We are all looking forward to time with friends and family as the Holiday season approaches, please help us keep our community as healthy as possible.
       
Thank you for your partnership and support,
Nurse Christine

FESTIVE FRIDAYS!
Upper School Student Council would like to invite members of the MPH community to take part in Festive Fridays in December.

On Fridays, we’re hoping people will join us in celebrating the season by wearing festive gear (including hats but not pajamas). Examples might be a great ugly sweater, some elf ears, snowflake earrings, you name it! So, deck the halls and don the apparel each Friday this month.
