Hello Families,

We will be kicking off our first Try it Tuesday on November 12th. We partner with Food Services and are able to share samples of a different fruit or vegetable with students once a month. This initiative was begun in an effort to promote healthy eating and openness to trying new foods. If you would like to opt your child OUT of Try it Tuesday please use this link.

Respectfully,

Terri and Jayson =)

Colder Temperatures: As the winter months approach us, please be sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for outdoor recess (ie. jackets/sweatshirts, etc).

Snacks: Please remember to send your child in with a snack. The school has a very limited supply that gets depleted quickly and it is not to every students liking.

There is limited seating, so reserve your tickets starting at 6pm, Friday, Nov 1st! Use the QR code in the flyer below or follow the link here: https://form.jotform.com/242918423900152

Dear South Row Families,

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

We have seen an increase in cases of bacterial pneumonia. If your student (or any family member) has a persistent cough that is not resolving in 7-10 days, I recommend that you call their doctor for advice. Here is information about pneumonia. Feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions or concerns.

Warmly,

Nurse V.
