Coastal Connection
2024/2025
Important Note from Staff
As we continue to prioritize the health and safety of all our students and staff, we kindly ask that if your child is feeling unwell—whether with a cold, fever, vomiting, or any other symptoms—please keep them at home until they are feeling better.
We especially recommend families with students experiencing the stomach flu to try to keep all family members at home until everyone is well again. This helps prevent the spread of illness and ensures that our school remains a safe and healthy environment for all students and staff.
