Internet Safety

We are seeing an increase of social media use with students. We want to remind families of the importance of internet safety and the seriousness of the use. Attached is a link to an article specific to Snapchat. I encourage families to read the article written by a colleague and mentor who has the same issues in his district. Please contact the school with any questions!

Illness & Returning to School Guidelines

Keeping your kids home when they are sick helps to keep viruses from spreading. Kids should be fever free and free of vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school after an illness. Students should be free of itching rashes, eye infections, and in the case of head lice, should be treated with appropriate treatment according to their doctor before returning to school.

Please take not of these guidelines and remember to call the school office if your child will be absent.

Thank you!
