We've had absences due to illness over the last few weeks. As a reminder, here are guidelines on when children are free to return to school after being out sick:

• fever free for 24 hours - without the aid of medication
• diarrhea and/or vomit free for 24 hours - without the aid of medication
• fever of less than 99:6 degrees

If you have any question, please feel free to reach out to our school nurse, Melinda McConnell. She can help!

Every spring, students in grades 3-5 take the required Kansas state assessments. Below is the testing schedule for students in grades 3-5. It's helpful to know this information in case you are looking ahead to schedule appointments for your child. The testing begins after we return from Spring Break.

March 26th/27th- 5th graders take the Kansas science assessment

April 2nd/3rd- 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders take the Kansas reading assessment

April 9th/10th- 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders take the Kansas math assessment

April 15th-19th will be set aside for students who need to make up any missed assessments.

Your child's teacher will be sharing more details regarding their grade level testing times.

With the nicer weather, we have less car traffic during car drop off & pick up times. If you do drive to drop off and/or pick up your child from school, please adhere to the following rules in order for the smoothest arrivals and dismissals:

• PreK parents have the lower lot (first 3 rows) to park. They are required to park & walk their child in each day. For this reason, those spots are reserved only for them.
  
  
• if your child is in K-5, please do not use the spots in the first 3 rows of the lower parking lot to park your car. You may drop your child off in the car loop (it's easy & fast!), and they can either enter in the main entrance or walk down the sidewalk to join their friends waiting in the grade level lines outside.
  
  
• please do not park illegally or in the car loop line; please find a spot to park your car if you are walking your child to the doors.
  
  
• if you have questions and/or concerns, please feel free to let me know. It is my intention that our arrivals and dismissals are safe & as efficient as possible, and that requires all of us to work together for the greater good of our school community.

We will create a community of confident learners by fostering perseverance and a sense of belonging for all.
