Outdoor Recess
We will be having outdoor recess when weather allows. Warmer temperatures are in the forecast, and as long as the rain holds off, students will be playing outside. Please remember coats, hats and gloves to be prepared for outdoor recess. Our recess is time is not until 1:10, so while it may be below 32 degrees for earlier recesses, it is often warm enough by the time 4th grade recess rolls around.
Wellness Reminder
Cold and flu season is upon us. Please remember that if your child is ill, he or she should remain at home until fever-free and vomiting-free for 24 hours. Also, if your child has been prescribed antibiotics for a contagious illness he or she must remain at home until receiving a full 24 hours of the medication. Contact Mrs. Wiethe, our School Nurse, at 398-8050, ext.15025 if you have any questions about your child’s return to school after an illness.
