Student Illness
It's that time of year! We have had several students out sick these last few weeks. Please keep your student home 24 hours if they have had fever, strep throat or vomiting. You must email each of your students' teachers to let them know if your child is out sick. Teachers must receive notice of an excused absence within the school day missed. We are doing our best to keep everyone healthy through the holidays and we thank you for your help!
