Principal's Corner
True learning happens when the school, family, and student work hand in hand. This week, we dedicated time to reviewing our school-wide expectations and discussing what it means to embody Godwin PRIDE: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Engagement. Additionally, students have been learning and adjusting to several new routines, including our one school-wide lunchtime, using lockers for their backpacks, and finding their way around the building with many classrooms and offices in new locations.
Should My Child Stay Home?
As a general rule, your child should not go to school if they have:
- A fever over 100.4° Fahrenheit (F) or 38° Celsius (C) – Your child can return to school after they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without antipyretics. Antipyretics are medicines that treat or prevent fever.
- Signs they are weak and tired. This is common with the flu.
- Diarrhea – Having loose poop (stool) more often that isn’t caused by a change in diet.
- Throwing up (vomiting) – More than 2 times in a 24-hour period.
- Coughing that disrupts normal activity.
- Wheezing or get short of breath.
- Pain from earache, headache, sore throat, or recent injury.
- Yellow or green drainage from the eye(s).
- A new rash – Not all rashes mean your child must stay home from school. Check with their doctor or health care provider.
