District-wide Holiday Toy Box Drive
The annual district-wide toy drive for local families, as in the past we are looking for donations of new or gently used clothing and toys. The box for drop off is in the main office at our school until December. Please consider donating something if you are able.
Health Corner
Winter time brings some additional challenges to school aside from the cold weather. Below are a few reminders for helping our students to stay safe and healthy at school:
- Wash hands frequently — especially after using the restroom, coughing, or sneezing.
- Cover your cough — cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue.
- Encourage children to put hats and gloves into coat sleeves when hanging among others’ items.
Please report all cases of communicable illnesses or circumstances to our office when reporting your child’s absence.
** Students should be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
** Students who have been treated for head lice must have a head check in the office before returning to class, even if the head lice was discovered over the weekend.
By reporting these things to our staff, we can limit the spread of germs and other things. The two attachments contain additional information that may be helpful to you. Please know that information related to illnesses is kept confidential. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

DRESSING FOR THE WEATHER
Brr! The weather has turned chilly! Although our afternoons are often warmer than mornings, please send your child to school with a warm coat daily. We definitely want to take advantage of the sunny fall weather to play on our playground and with our fun new equipment, but need to be dressed appropriately! It’s always a good idea to dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. Please label your child’s jackets and sweaters so they can find their way back to their owners if left somewhere. The Lost & Found is currently full of items needing to be claimed!
