Health Room Updates
Please send an extra pair of pants and underwear for your child just in case there is a bathroom accident. The health office also loves donations of gently used sweatpants and leggings sizes 5-10. We also appreciate new packs of underwear for boys and girls sizes 5-10.
The health office has free at home covid tests. Email Katie.Puchalla@ahschools.us and we can send them home with your child.
Wondering if your child is well enough to come to school? Please see the document linked below.
If your child goes to the doctor or dentist please request a doctors note and send it with your child for attendance purposes.
Volunteers Needed
Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your child's education. Studies show that students whose parents stay involved in school have better behavior, get better grades, demonstrated better social skills and adapt better to school. Please see the graphic below for more information regarding becoming a volunteer at Mississippi Elementary. Please reach out to Jackie Cimenski with any questions or visit the district website.
