Parents, If your child is sick, make sure they are well for at least 24 hours before bringing them back to school. This time of year there are many illnesses going around. For the prevention and safety of all, we deep clean our rooms each night, but need your help too.

You may send your student with valentines for the class, which will be passed out during class time. Please do not send any treats or valentines with candy attached to them. Thanks for your cooperation. Happy Valentine’s Day!
