Safety Information Regarding the Pond Near School
Please be advised that no one should be on the ice on the pond near our school at any time. Even during freezing temperatures, ice conditions can be unpredictable, thin, and extremely dangerous. For the safety of our entire community, it is vital that everyone stays off the ice and keeps a safe distance from the water. This rule applies both during school hours and after school/on weekends. We ask that you please speak with your child or any caretakers to reinforce this safety rule. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our students and community safe.
Dress for the Cold Weather!
It is important that all students wear or bring a coat to school for recess or outdoor activities. A coat is an additional covering that students can wear when outside, not a fleece or sweatshirt. We will try to be outside for recess as long as the weather allows, so students must be dressed appropriately to participate outside. Hats, gloves, and ear muffs are also encouraged. Consider putting your child's name or initials inside any items so that they can be easily identified if they end up in the Lost and Found. The Lost and Found will continue to be displayed on the wall in the cafeteria.
Sick Day Guidelines
Dear Families,
As part of our school’s health policy, I’d like to share a few reminders to help keep our students
healthy and ready to learn.
When to Keep Your Child Home
Your child should stay home if they have:
• Fever of 100.4°F or higher (until fever-free for 24 hrs without medication)
• Flu symptoms (until fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hrs)
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hrs (return on Day 2 after the last episode)
• Undiagnosed rash (doctor’s note required for return)
• Severe cough, congestion, or constant nasal discharge
• Chills or fatigue affecting participation
• Strep throat, pink eye, impetigo, ringworm, or chickenpox – may return after 24 hrs
of treatment or when cleared by a healthcare provider
• Lice: When lice are identified, students must be checked by the nurse before
returning to class to ensure no active lice remain.
Regular head checks at home are the best way to prevent lice from spreading.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy!
