Every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, SoulPancake and Kid President want 2 million people to prove that even the smallest acts of love, like donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of those who are homeless. For more information, CLICK HERE.
How can we help make good things happen? Let’s get in on this Act of Kindness! From October 1-31, send in NEW socks, any size/gender/color, to be collected and donated to an area shelter and the McFarland Food Pantry.
Once the collection drive is finished, we will share our collection totals with families. Thanks in advance for considering this great cause!
In case you haven't seen this yet, CLICK HERE to watch a recent presentation at ED Locke Library from local historian Ron Larson, who shared background information for various street names, parks, and other landmarks in McFarland. It's an interesting watch!
If you have had children in our school previous years, you will likely recall that we typically would have hosted our annual Fall Open House by now (it's usually at the beginning of October). Last year, our school's equity team spent the year brainstorming ways we can get more families into the building and involved in open house. This year, we are reviewing that group's input, and need to confirm some financial details required to run open house while still operating within our current budget constraints.
We WILL have an open house this year for all CEPS families to come see the school and visit their child's learning spaces. It will be later in the winter or early spring, and we will provide ample notice ahead of time. Thanks for your patience!
With the cold and flu season in full swing, please review our Guidelines for sending your child to school. Remember, if your child is sick please keep them home and seek medical evaluation as needed. Students will be sent home with the following symptoms:
Temperature above 100.4°F
Vomiting or diarrhea
Frequent uncontrollable cough
Your child should remain at home until fever, vomiting/diarrhea has stopped for 24 hours without the use of medication. If they have been prescribed antibiotics, please see the MSD Health Services Handbook and DHS Wisconsin Childhood Communicable Disease guidelines for when they may return to school. As well, please notify the School/Health Office if your student has tested positive for a communicable disease such as: Influenza/Flu, Covid 19, Pneumonia, Strep Throat, RSV, Hand Foot & Mouth, Pertussis, etc.
Thank you for your partnership as we work to keep our students and staff healthy and safe each day!
Public Health Madison & Dane County is partnering with surrounding school districts and SSM Health in a few weeks to offer more school vaccine clinics to get students up to date on their school vaccines in time for the 2024-25 school year. These clinics will take place at multiple locations and dates. Find more information and to schedule an appointment see the attached flyer (English, Spanish), or via publichealthmdc.com/schoolclinics.
