January News

Happy New Year! We cannot wait to spend 2020 with you and your children. Thank you to everyone who participated in our Pajama Drive to support Child Haven. Between our preschool and elementary, we collected 92 pairs of pajamas to donate to children in need.

Please take a minute to read through the news and reminders below and let myself or anyone else on our administrative team know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jami Yingling, Principal

 

Illness Policy

Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:

·         Fever of 100 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school

·         Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset

·         Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 3-5 minutes

·         Persistent, non-productive or barking cough

·         Sore throat

·         Skin rash, including diaper rash

·         Head lice

·         Symptoms of a communicable disease

·         Fussy, cranky behavior unlike child’s normal demeanor that may indicate illness

Parent Referrals

Do you have friends who are moving to the area, or are unhappy with their child’s current school? We are always happy to meet other parents like you and offer a one week tuition credit for parent referrals. Please see the front office for details.
