Health Office Reminder

We are seeing an early start to the cough and cold season. We are not currently seeing Flu, RSV, or COVID, but we are seeing some other viruses. Please encourage your child/children to cover their coughs with an elbow and wash their hands frequently.

Please be sure to keep your child home if they aren’t feeling well and they are actively coughing/sneezing, even if they may not have a fever.

Students should always 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.

Thank you for your partnership and support.

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Per our front desk, the Lost and Found Bin is full, so unlabeled items are now hanging by Reception. Please check for missing items and remember to label your student’s clothing and water bottles. Thank you!
