Reminder: Peanut and Tree Nut Policy
With birthdays and the holiday approaching, please remember that any treats brought into the classroom must be store-bought and properly labeled.
To ensure the safety of all students, we cannot accept any items with labels stating, “may have been processed in a facility with peanuts,” “may contain traces of peanuts,” or similar wording.
A couple suggestions for treats would be all items under the brand name "Sweet Pea", Oreos and rice Krispies. I have included the Approved Snack List.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe environment for our students with allergies.

Notice Regarding Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD)
We have recently identified cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in both the elementary and high school. An informational sheet is included with notice.
In addition to HFMD, please consider the school’s exclusion guidelines when determining if your child should stay home from school due to illness:
School Exclusion Guidelines
Regardless of the illness, children should be excluded from school if they meet any of the following criteria:
🩺 The child is unwilling or unable to participate in normal school activities due to illness.
⚕️ Staff determine they cannot care for the ill child without compromising care for the rest of the students.
🩺 The child has a fever (100.5°F or higher) and symptoms such as difficulty breathing, behavioral changes, lethargy, irritability, persistent crying, or a progressive rash.
⚕️ The child has vomited two or more times in the past 24 hours, unless symptoms are clearly due to a non-communicable condition and the child can stay hydrated and participate in activities.
🩺 The child has diarrhea and cannot self-contain stool.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nurse Heen or the school office.
