Families,
I hope that you all have been able to enjoy this spring weather. Below are updates for this school week. We look forward to seeing our in-person students on Thursday and our VA students online starting on Thursday.
Spring Pictures: We will be having our Spring Pictures on Monday April 12 through Lifetouch Studios. In-person information will be sent home on Thursday. We are working on details to see about Virtual Academy Spring Photos with Lifetouch.
2021-2022 School Supplies Survey- Each year we offer the opportunity for parents to purchase school supplies through School Toolbox. The PTA is trying to see if this is something families are still interested in participating. The PTA does make money on each kit that is purchased. Last year, few families participated understandably (about 20), and the school made about $78.00. The kits per student (depending on what is on the grade level supply list) averaged about $50.00-$70.00. Kits are delivered directly to the school.

Wellness - it is imperative that The best thing you can do is to keep your children home when sick. This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers. Keep them home when they show any of these symptoms:
fever of 100.4 degrees F or higher
nausea or vomiting
severe headache
diarrhea
New cough or cold
Sore throat
Children should stay home until they have been naturally without fever for at least 24 hours. If they are at school and have these symptoms they will need to stay out of school up to 10 days unless there is a medical condition to identify the illness.
