Preventing Influenza (Flu)
Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness and at times can lead to death.
The best way to prevent flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year. The Wyoming Department of Health recommends that almost everyone over the age of six months get a flu shot. Certain population groups are most vulnerable to serious flu-related illness including people over 60, pregnant women, children under 5 and people with underlying conditions (asthma, diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
Flu shots can be obtained from your healthcare provider, most pharmacies or public health. Park County Public Health's community flu vaccine clinics are scheduled on the following dates.
Cody: Wednesday October 16th from 8:30-6:00 at the Cody Auditorium.
Powell: Wednesday October 9th, 8:30-6:00 at the fairgrounds. Cost is $20 for Children, $25 for adults. Public Health will bill Medicaid and some private health insurance if you present your card at the time of service.

Arrival
ARRIVING EARLY-STAYING LATE (STUDENTS):
Time before and after school is used by teachers to plan and prepare lessons and materials. Because teachers are unavailable to supervise them, we cannot allow students to play outside prior to 7:45 a.m. or after 3:15 p.m. Normal arrival time is 7:50 a.m., when supervision is available.
Transportation-Bus/Pick up
Bus Information-
If your student requires transportation call our bus barn at 587-2851. The attached link shows our bus routes. https://www.park6.org/documents/departments/transportation/2022-2023-bus-routes/366663
Car Riders Kiss and Go-Drop Off in the Mornings-
Parents may drop off in the mornings from 7:45-8:10am. Students may enter the building if they are eating breakfast. If students are not eating breakfast at school, they may follow the sidewalk to the playground with teacher supervision available.
Car Riders Kiss and Go-Afternoon Dismissal-
Students who are using our Kiss and Go may be picked up along the curb. You will stay in your vehicle and follow the other cars, pulling up to the curb in the next available spot. A staff member will then put your student in the vehicle. Please write your students name on a sheet of paper and display this in the upper right hand corner of your dashboard, this will help with the flow of Kiss and Go.
Absences
PLEASE CALL: ATTENDANCE
When you know your child will be absent from school, please call the school between 7:30 and 8:45 a.m. If we have not heard from you, someone from the office will have to call you at home or at work. If we are unable to reach you, it will be necessary to call the emergency names listed on your child’s information sheet.
Lost and Found
Every year the school lost and found contains many personal items of clothing that are never claimed. These items are donated to our Bargain Box bi-weekly.
To avoid losing your valuable clothing, parents are asked to clearly label all personal belongings with the child’s name so that lost items may be returned promptly.
Have your student check out the lost and found bin on a regular basis, this is located in the cafeteria hall.
