Respiratory illnesses with fever and cough continue to be prevalent in the community and surrounding areas. As a reminder, please keep your children home if they are sick and reach out to us for guidance on attending school should you have any questions or concerns. Children may return to school after an absence for illness when they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and their symptoms have improved.

Please keep us informed of the symptoms associated with illness when your child is absent. Providing a note from their healthcare provider is important should there be an absence of more than two days.

For all all absences, a written and signed note must be provided upon your child’s return to school, unless a doctor's note has been provided, giving the reason for the absence.

Please remind your children to wash their hands frequently, get ample rest, and bring a water bottle to school daily. We are thankful for your continued efforts to support the wellness of our schools and community.
