Flea Free

• We have not seen any fleas since Tuesday.  :)

• We will be entering through the main school Monday morning to ensure that no new fleas hatched over the weekend.  

• We hope to be back to normal by midday Monday.

• We will continue to monitor the situation. 

  • If your child comes home with new bites please let a teacher know as soon as possible. 

• Thank you all for your patience and understanding this week. 

Parking Lot

• One of our parent's car was broken into in the parking lot this week. 

• Please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle when dropping off or picking up your child. 

• Thieves are targeting school parking lots across Modesto. 

• They are very quick and can be in and out of your car in less than 5 minutes. 

Dress Code/Attire

• We've made a few changes to the are Attire requirements.

  • Any girls wearing dresses/skirts are required to have shorts underneath them. 

  • Tennis shoes must either tie or velcro

  • Cowboy boots, boots, sandals, slip on shoes and thongs (flip flops) are not permitted for safety reasons. 

• Please make sure your child is appropriately dressed for school. 

• Please make sure your child has a change of clothes at school, just in case. 

Illnesses

• We've had several students out sick this week with fevers. 

• If your child has a fever please keep them home for at least 24 hours. 

Lice

• Please check your children often for lice. 

• There is a new strand making its way to the valley that resists being cured with over the counter medicine.  

• As you can imagine Lice in the classroom would be very hard to get rid of.

• Each shirt will be $5 for a total of $15

• If you have not already done so please pay for your child's T-Shirts.  

• We are asking for early payment so we can be prepared and order the the T's to paint. 

• We will be making these shirts with the students during class time.
