A Healthy School Environment

Please consider these suggestions as you make decisions about whether to keep children at home or send them to school.

Parents can help:

Check students’ health before they leave home

 Keep students home when they have signs / symptoms of illness

 Give school office current emergency contact information

 Make arrangements with relatives / friends to take care of sick children if unable to do so yourself

Please contact the school if your child comes down with a contagious illness.

Thanks for your help in providing a safe and healthy school environment.
