- Student has a runny nose or just a little cough, but no other symptoms
- Student hasn’t taken any fever reducing medicine for 24 hours and hasn’t had a fever during that time

Message from Leslie Rames
It is that time of year where families are holiday decorating and thinking about holiday plans. Many of our evenings and weekends will be spent getting ready for holiday celebrations. While visions of sugar plums, reindeer, and peppermint mocha may arise at times, here at Castle Rock our students still continue to have math facts, essays, favorite books, and science experiments dancing through their heads. It is easy to loose focus at this time of year, please help us encourage our students to stay as focused as possible.
One of the district's goals this year is to support families in how to become more involved with our school and how to support their students at home. I would like to encourage all of our families to join us for two amazing family engagement events this December. Our Cookies with Santa Family Event on Wednesday, December 18th and our "The Littlest Christmas Tree" Performance on Thursday, December 19th. Please see the flyers at the top of the newsletter for more detailed information regarding these events.
I wish you all a wonderful winter break and Happy Holidays! Enjoy family time over the holidays. Take time to snuggle up and read together, play board games, drink hot chocolate, build a snowman, and just be together!
