Student Illnesses and Being Dismissed

Happy Wednesday!

As the weather gets cold and the days grow short, we're noticing the annual trend of increased illnesses and students requesting to be dismissed. This year we've also noticed an increase in the number of students texting a parent asking to be dismissed because they don't feel good.

I ask that all students who feel ill see the school nurse. The nurse will evaluate the student and call a parent to have the student dismissed. If your child texts you saying he/she doesn't feel well please have them report to the nurse who will then follow up with you. We need to track the number of students not feeling well for the health and safety of all students.

When your child is dismissed I also ask that you or the responsible adult please come into the building to dismiss your child. This is for security reasons. I do not want any student leaving school grounds with an unauthorized person.

I appreciate your support on this. Best wishes for a healthy winter!
