Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. –Les Brown
Home Check REMINDERS
With the upcoming cold/flu season approaching please remember to practice the daily morning home checks. If your child does not feel well nor has a fever, please keep them home. Thank you for cooperation in helping keep us all safe and healthy!
Student Files
We are in the process of updating student files. We are sending home a request for documents if you are missing anything, this includes immunization record updates. Let me know if you have any questions. These items are required by the state to have in the student file.
Attendance /Excused for Appointment
If a student needs to be marked excused for doctor/dentist appointment, parents must submit the doctor’s note to school at check in. Please note a parent MUST check a student in if late in the school office.
