Primary Grades - Ms. Sodorff's classroom with 87.5 pounds of pennies

COLD & FLU SEASON

With cold and flu season in full swing, do not send your child back to school unless he or she is fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication. This is very important not only for your child's well-being, but in order to prevent germs from spreading to others.

If your child is out of school for more than 3 days, a doctor's note must be turned into the school upon their return.
