Schools that register 50% and 70% of their eligible students will also receive statewide recognition.

Student Sick Protocol
Handbook Policy states: "If you are feeling sick in school you will need to see the school nurse and/or office secretary first. From there it will be determined if a parent/guardian needs to be notified. It is unnecessary and not following procedures when students call/text their parent/guardian before checking with the school nurse."
