Don't forget families, that our parking lot is an active kid zone. Please make sure you are driving slowly and watching out for all pedestrians. It's getting a little crazy out there and we want to make sure we are keeping everyone safe from harm! We really appreciate your help in this matter!

On October 31st, we will be having a whole school dress up day where all students and staff are welcomed to dress as a minion! A yellow shirt and blue pants will cover it and Mrs. Randall will hand out little glasses to everyone in the school.

Please note that many teachers will be having their own classroom celebrations. Please do NOT bring food or candy unless your teacher has asked you to bring something specific. We want to make sure everyone is included in our celebrations and in order to do this we need to be mindful of the life threatening allergies we have throughout the building. Thank you for your help in this!

Please see the attached flyer for another local trunk or treat at Jefferson High School!

It's that time of year when sicknesses start to run rampant! Please remember if your kiddos has been vomiting or has a fever higher than 100.4, they may not come to school until they are vomit or fever free for 24 hours. Below is also some additional information on Lice and the guidelines we need to follow here at school:

1. Head Lice Treatment:
If you find head lice, your student should be treated right away. Parents/caregivers should follow treatment instructions carefully, and removing lice and nits (eggs) by hand may be suggested. Sometimes a second treatment is needed to completely get rid of lice.

2. Prevention:
To prevent lice, remind your child not to share personal items like combs, brushes, hats, or pillows. Regular checks at home can catch lice early and stop them from spreading.

3. School Control Measures:
We don’t do routine school-wide head lice checks because they aren’t proven to be effective. There’s no need to keep your child at home unless they have live lice. We also don’t send home letters about head lice for privacy reasons.

4. Confidentiality and Support:
We aim to protect students' privacy and prevent any social stigma. If you think your child may have lice, contact the school nurse for a private check.

This policy follows guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Please reach out to the school nurse with any questions.
