A message from your principal, Mrs. Stager
The mural project is complete and it's nothing short of spectacular! Thank you so much to the HSA and the numerous parent volunteers who gave so much time. We really had some parent rockstars coming in here to make sure the project was completed on time. It's absolutely stunning so be sure to check it out next time you are in the building for a school event!
The first graders enjoyed a very special Dory Fantasmagory Bookwormy Night! Thank you to Mrs. Munro and HSA volunteers for a memorable evening. The third graders worked hard on their Immigration Day projects and enjoyed learning about different countries and cultures today. Thank you to the teachers, parents, and students for a memorable experience!
We are finally flipping the calendar to February! There will be an early dismissal day on Tuesday, February 4th for staff professional development. School will be dismissed at 12:40 P.M. and no lunch will be served. Please review dismissal plans with your child and notify the teachers or main office of any changes to the regular schedule.
Best,
Allison

A Message from our Nurse.....
February is Heart Health Month!
We all want to see our kids grow and develop into healthy adults- Here are some tips to help make that happen:
1. Help your kids eat healthy and send healthy snacks to school.
2. Help your child be more physically active! Play silly games to get moving. Limiting screen time can help too!
3. Kids need plenty of sleep, 9-12 hours per night!
Mark your calendar! National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 7th!
Regarding illness, please adhere to the following 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

Valentine's Day
Yes, it's not quite February, yet there are already Valentines displays out in stores. Here is Valentine's Day information for your planning purposes.
On Valentine's Day, the teachers will facilitate classroom celebrations and will work with class parents to coordinate. We kindly ask that if you choose to send in Valentines, one is sent for each student in the class. Please do not send in Valentines that contain food, goody bags, or party favors. They will not be distributed. Amazon has a wide selection of paper Valentines. Teachers are working with class parents to provide allergy friendly snacks during the celebrations. We appreciate your cooperation!

District News
Portrait of a Graduate Survey
Our district is engaged in a Portrait of a Graduate project that involves input from staff, alumni, families, community members and students. The end goal is to align our efforts and embed key competencies that students will need for success in the future. A key component is to garner feedback from various groups in the school community as to what these broad competencies for future success should be. As parents, you are an essential part of this feedback and we invite you to take this important survey that should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Some question numbers may appear out of order; this is for data collection purposes. Simply answer the questions as they appear in the survey. Thank you and we look forward to sharing our progress with you!
