CMS PEEK AT THE WEEK

Hello, CMS Parents/Guardians! This newsletter is an update of what is going on at CMS this week.

We are back to cooler temperatures again this week! Please make sure students have appropriate clothing for this week.

We hope to see everyone at our conferences on Thursday!

With so much sickness going around right now, here is some guidance regarding whether or not students may need to stay home and not come to school due to a medical condition.

When to Keep Your Child Home from School: A Helpful Guide for Parents As parents, we want our children to succeed and be present at school, but sometimes their health or well-being may require a day of rest at home. Here’s a helpful guide to determine when it’s best to keep your child home from school:

Fever: If your child has a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, it’s best to keep them home until they’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.

Cold or Flu Symptoms: Symptoms like persistent cough, sore throat, or body aches may mean your child is sick and needs to rest. If they’re too tired or uncomfortable to participate in school activities, it’s a good idea to stay home.

Vomiting or Diarrhea: Children should stay home for at least 24 hours after vomiting or diarrhea has stopped to help prevent spreading illness to others.

Contagious Illnesses: If your child has a contagious condition like pink eye, strep throat, or chickenpox, it’s important to keep them home to recover and prevent others from getting sick.

Severe Headache or Migraines: If your child is experiencing a severe headache or migraine, they may need rest in a quiet, dark room rather than attending school.

Rashes or Skin Conditions: If your child has a rash that may be contagious (such as impetigo), it’s important to seek medical advice and keep them home until cleared by a healthcare provider.

Above all, if you’re ever in doubt, don’t hesitate to consult with your child’s doctor to get guidance on whether they’re well enough to go back to school. By keeping your child home when they’re unwell, you’re not only helping them recover but also preventing the spread of illness to classmates and staff. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy!

• Students received a reading Bingo card in their ELA classes last week. Students receive prizes if they get bingos and if they complete a "black out." Students read books that fit the criteria in each square and take/pass an AR test to get a stamp. Please encourage your students to read and win prizes!

• Permission forms for the 5th grade field trip have been sent home last week. They are due NO LATER than February 13th. THIS THURSDAY! Forms will not be accepted after this date.

Mrs. Brumley is excited to pass the Staff of the Week award to Mrs. Bradford!

I am choosing Mrs. Kristen Bradford because she has worked so hard this year with her students. You can tell that she has a love of math and is instilling that into her students. She shows them everyday how great learning math can be and has joy in teaching them. She is already a rockstar, and we are glad to have her on the math team!
