Take Care of Texas: 20 Strategies for Earth Day
As every resident of this state knows, Texas is the best place on Earth. So celebrate this Earth Day by Taking Care of Texas right where you are!
Whether you’re in a small town, a booming city, or somewhere in between, you can do your part on Earth Day and every other day of the year.
We are still seeing and hearing many students and families experiencing "tummy troubles". Unfortunately that one is no fun for anyone. Hopefully we will get past this very soon! Covid has popped back up as well but is nothing like it was back in Jan/Feb. Hopefully it stays very limited. Please continue to help us keep our students who are at school healthy and learning by staying home when ill and seeking MD advice when needed.
Parents, please make sure all students who are present at school have been free of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and eye discharge for at least 24 hours. Fever should be gone WITHOUT the use of fever reducing medications. Fever is defined as any temperature of 100 degrees F or higher.
