HV Update 3-28-25

Dear HV Families,

It was quite a busy week here at HV! We started off the week with the annual Spelling Bee, had an amazing visit with author Abby Hanlon, third grade music concert, and finished with the second grade wax museum! Special thanks to all those who made these events possible: Mrs. Sullivan, Mrs. Munro, Mrs. Finnen, Mr. Vivino, Ms. Cassidy, Mrs. Pontoriero, Ms. Doyle, Mrs. Segedin, Mrs. Battista, and of course our fabulous HSA who supports all that do!!

After a busy week, the students are ready for the weekend. Relax, enjoy and we'll see you back at HV on Monday.

Best,

Allison

Congratulations to all our Spelling Bee Contestants!! Everyone did an amazing job.

Thank you to the HSA and Mrs. Munro for sponsoring and hosting a fantastic author visit this week! The students were thrilled to meet Abby Hanlon. Hiillview loves her Dory Fantasmagory books that she writes and illustrates. She showed the students you can do anything you put your mind to and was very inspiring!

Spring has Sprung!... and so have Spring Allergies!

We're looking forward to the budding trees and blooming flowers, but some of us suffer from seasonal allergies! Symptoms include: itchy eyes, scratchy throat, cough, runny nose or congestion, and watery eyes. It could be hard to determine when to keep your child home. Follow these guidelines:

• Keep your child home if he/she does not feel well enough to participate in normal activities, even if fever-free.
• Keep your child home until fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication (fever is defined 100.4 and above).
• If nausea/vomiting- keep your child home until at least 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting.
• If your child has strep throat- keep your child home until at least 12 hours have passed since the start of antibiotic treatment and fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication and feeling well enough to participate in normal activities.
• If your child is Covid-19 positive, keep home and call your school nurse for the latest guidelines.
• When reporting an absence, please report symptoms and any official diagnoses.
• Obtain a doctor's note if your child is sick for 3 or more days.
• Remind your child about practicing good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette
