North Pembroke Elementary School

Please ensure your students wear rubber-soled sneakers for physical education class each week. Boots, Crocs, and Uggs, and similar footwear pose a tripping hazard and are not allowed during class. Bringing a change of footwear on physical education days is an excellent way to ensure your child is prepared.

Attendance is important – but your child should not come to school when too sick to learn or there is a risk of making others ill.

When you are questioning whether to send your child to school or not, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Fever ~ A temperature greater than 100.0 is considered a fever. Your child should be fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Vomiting and Diarrhea ~ Your child should be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Rash ~ A rash is usually a sign of a viral illness. It may also be a reaction to a medication or chemical (plant, detergent). If your child has an unusual rash or it is associated with a fever, contact your doctor. Keep your child home until you have discussed the rash with your doctor.

• Cold, sore throat, cough ~ Children average six to eight colds per year. Your child may attend school if there is no fever. If cold and cough symptoms are associated with a fever or they do not readily improve, call your doctor.

If your child has anything contagious (i.e. chickenpox, Fifth disease, strep throat, conjunctivitis, impetigo, MRSA, measles, pertussis, etc.), I need to know so we can take the necessary steps to prevent an outbreak.

If your child is being treated for an illness (pneumonia, bronchitis, ear infection, asthma), even if they don’t need medication at school, it is helpful for me to know, so I can provide the best care for them at school.

If your child has sustained an injury ask your healthcare provider when it is safe to return to school and physical activities (physical education and recess). Inform me so we can make the appropriate accommodations at school.

Children with allergies or asthma are often affected more seriously by respiratory infections and may need to see a healthcare provider.

We are thrilled to share that two former North Pembroke Elementary School students, Maeve and Elena, now seniors at Pembroke High School, have returned to North to complete some of their community service hours.

Maeve and Elena have been helping our students dive into science through hands-on activities that they designed themselves. Their creative and engaging approach has helped our students better understand key scientific concepts while inspiring curiosity and excitement about learning.

We appreciate Maeve and Elena for taking the time to support and give back to the North community. Their dedication and enthusiasm are truly inspiring.

Integrity is the character trait for the month of January. We speak of integrity as doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
