REMINDERS

Parents,
Please remember that if your child is ill you need to call the elementary office at 825-2021 to excuse them from school.  Also, if your child has a fever, please remember the "24 hour rule."  A child needs to be free from fever without the use of fever-reducing medications for 24 hours before they come back to school.  Giving a child medication and sending them to school only "masks" the fever. The child may still be contagious and is exposing everyone they come into contact with. Also, the medication tends to run out and the fever shows up around lunchtime and the child feels miserable :(
SO......if we send your child home with a fever during the school day, please plan on keeping them out the next day as well.

Please make sure that you empty your child's folder each evening and go over their work with them. Also, reviewing the letter of the day and the numbers we are learning will be a big help to your child! Don't forget to send your child's folder back to school every day- we use them daily!  Thanks!

It would be very helpful if you could label your child's clothing. I keep finding sweatshirts, etc. laying around without any names in them. Many times none of the children will claim them. Putting their name in their clothing will save on the amount of clothing that ends up in our overflowing lost and found!

We will be collecting money for the Coins for Kids program through Pizza Hut during the month of October. If you have any spare change you could donate, we would greatly appreciate it for this worthy cause! Don't forget to ask grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. if they could help out! This program provides food for hungry children.
