Connections - Science

Fall Update: Want to know what your student is doing in Science Connections? Has your 1st grade student showed you their Breeze Buddies, a weather tool that helps them visualize how the wind is blowing? Ask your Kindergartner to explain how the things in their mouth help them eat. Ask your 2nd grade student to give you examples of fast and slow land changes, and ask your 3rd grade student to tell you what Georgia Habitat they are researching. Thanks! Mrs. Herron.

LC Nurse

Please keep in mind that if your child has a fever they cannot return to campus for 24 hours following the resolution of the fever (without the use of fever reducing medications). If a child vomits, they cannot return to class for 24 hours following the last time that they vomited. Please know that if a child that was sent home by a nurse and returns to school the following day, and it has not been 24 hours, arrangements will be made for them to be sent home. This is in alignment with DeKalb County School District guidelines. If you have any questions, please reach out to Nurse Kate.
