Greeting Lion Cub Families!

We hope that each of your families enjoyed this extended weekend. Let's not forget the reason for today's holiday, Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor those who sacrificed their lives while serving in the armed forces. We have included a short video below all about Memorial Day.

This week we will continue with our EOG testing. Let's make it a priority to get a good nights sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time. Taking these actions will give our students their best chance at doing their best on their end of year assessments.

Let's get excited for our 36th week of Learning, Leading, and Loving It!

Purpose: Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was tasked to develop and maintain the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) – a federal program that offers eligible households a discount on their monthly internet bill and a one-time discount off the purchase of a laptop, desktop or tablet computer. Since launching in December 2021, the ACP has helped over 22 million eligible households gain access to online internet service, allowing subscribers to take advantage of educational and career building resources, telehealth services and more. However, the of $14.2 billion Congress initially appropriated for the ACP is approaching depletion. Without additional funding, the Commission must begin a wind-down process for the ACP.

Flu and cold season are here. It is important that we all do our best to stay healthy by washing our hands, covering our cough, and staying home when sick.

Students should stay home if

• If the student has any of the following symptoms they should stay home:

• Fever (temperature of 99.6 degrees Fahrenheit or higher),

• Diarrhea or vomiting

• Constant cough and sore throat

A student who has a fever of 99.6 or above or any student that has thrown up will be sent home. Therefore, you will need to come for him/her immediately when the school contacts you. It is extremely important that you provide your child’s teacher with several emergency contact numbers so that someone can be reached if your child gets sick or injured. We cannot allow students with these symptoms to ride home on the bus or daycare vans.

• Students need to be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
• Anyone throwing up at night or in the morning should not attend school.

Every U.S. household may place an order to receive four free COVID-⁠19 rapid tests delivered directly to your home.

Order Free At-Home Tests

Need help placing an order for your at-⁠home tests?
Call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489).

The U.S. government will continue to make COVID-⁠19 tests available to uninsured individuals and underserved communities through existing outreach programs. Please contact a HRSA health center, Test to Treat site, or ICATT location near you to learn how to access low- or no-cost COVID-⁠19 tests provided by the federal government.
