Gentle Reminder – According to the newspaper, flu season has begun. If your child is sick, PLEASE keep them home. There are many illnesses going around, and we do not want to be spreading around more germs. The single best way to avoid the spread of infection is to wash your hands. To be effective, hand washing must: Last 10-15 seconds and cover all parts of the hands/fingers. If your student does get a fever or is feeling ill, we cannot allow the child back in class unless it’s been 24 hours (without the use of medicine) since they had symptoms. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office. Last Chance - Fundraising Commitment - Monte Carlo Raffle Tickets - There is only one more opportunity to fulfill your commitment this year.

If you choose not to fulfill your $300 Fundraising Commitment at this time, your remaining contracted commitment will be added to your tuition statement. Thank you.
