Not Feeling Well?
Since we are entering cold & flu season, take steps to keep our community healthy.
Should your student develop cold or flu symptoms, make sure to test TWICE for Covid. Free Covid test kits are available in all school offices. If the first test is negative, test again 24-48 hours later (even if symptoms are resolving and your student returns to school after the first negative test). Low amounts of virus early in infection can sometimes be missed by a test, and the test can be positive a few days later.
Stay home when not feeling well. There are a lot of viruses going around, and you don’t want to spread them, even if they are not Covid-related.
Wear a mask if you have any symptoms while around others.
Congratulations to all of our students who boldly entered the
PTA Reflections art contest!

As the weather continues to get colder and rainy season begins, we anticipate more students wearing coats and bringing umbrellas to school. Please remember to LABEL all items sent to school with your child's name. Students can look for their lost items at the front of school by the Kinder yard before and after school; lost and found items will be taken from school and donated weekly.
Reminder about ongoing meetings for the African Amercan Family Network.
