Members of the Lovington High School Boys Soccer team visited Sixth Grade Academy earlier this month to greet students as they entered the building.

SGA would like to introduce the new rollout our Portrait of a Wildcat initiative. This initiative is more than just words; it is part of our culture as Wildcats. The Portrait of a Wildcat initiative provides a shared commitment to fostering an environment where every student can thrive and be prepared for success beyond the classroom. The Portrait of a Wildcat serves as a blueprint for the skills, knowledge, and character traits we aim to cultivate in our students. Watch the video below to see a snapshot of this initiative in action in Mrs. Palacios' social studies class as they demonstrate the five W's and portray the word of the month, integrity.

Many parents ask, “When is my child sick enough to stay home from school?”

This is not always an easy question to answer! We hope that these tips can help!

A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. We suggest making a plan for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a comforting place for your child to stay if he/she is ill.

Our school guidance states that you should not send your child to school if he/she has:

• Fever in the past 24 hours ***If your child has a fever, please DO NOT medicate your child and send them to school***
• Active vomiting (more than twice in a day) in the past 24 hours
• Diarrhea in the past 24 hours
• Chills
• Cough-A child with deep or uncontrollable coughing belongs at home even without a fever.
• Strep Throat (must have been taking an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school)
• Bad cold, with a very runny nose or bad cough, especially if it has kept the child awake at night
• Head lice – until your child has been treated according to the nurse or doctor’s instructions

If your child becomes ill at school and the teacher or school nurse feel the child is too sick to benefit from school or is contagious to other children, you will be called to come and take him/her home from school. It is essential that your child’s school has a phone number where you can be contacted during the day and an emergency number in the event you cannot be reached. Please be sure that arrangements can be made to transport your child home from school and that childcare is available in case of illness. If your daytime or emergency phone number changes during the year, please notify your child’s school immediately.

If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.

Thank you!
