Happy weekend Roadrunners!
We hope that this weekend brings time for everyone to get healthy and better! It has been a tough week in regard to illnesses!
This week was our lowest attendance week of the year at 89.75% We have had LOTS of sick kiddos. Over the last couple of weeks we have seen TONS of Flu A, Pneumonia, Stomach Virus and even RSV. It has been tough. We certainly want your kiddos at school, but if they are sick please allow them ample time to get better. We hope that we will see this period of illnesses start to subside! Keep encouraging your student to wash their hands and keep them out of their eyes, nose and mouth. Remind to get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, eat healthy and to sneeze or cough in their elbow. Thank you for trying to keep all of our Roadrunners healthy.
*** Also, please pay special attention to doctors notes. We have had some situations were student are reportedly feeling better and want to return to school but the doctor note says that they may return on a date further out. We have to follow the doctor note. We apologize for any frustration that this has caused over the last week or so. You may want to look at this if you are at the doctors office.
Stay healthy, safe and be well! See you guys next week!
Parents and Guardians,
You may have noticed the safety improvements at the 4-way stop on Dietz Elkhorn at the entrance of Front Gate and Elkhorn Ridge. There now is repainted crosswalks and new blinking lights on the stop signs and a pedestrian crossing flashing light. Thank you to the city of Fair Oaks Ranch for getting those in place.
As you travel through this area please follow all traffic laws- come to complete stops, LOOK FOR PEDESTRIANS, etc. We want to make sure that all individuals are safe. Thank you for your help with this and for watching our for our families walking from these areas.
