1-17-13 Daily Update

Parents,

Congratulations!  Each student reached his or her AR Goal of 100% this quarter!  We will be having our pizza party next Friday to celebrate their success.  If any parents would like to donate a 2 liter of soda or punch, that would be appreciated.  

Flu.  If you have been watching the news, you certainly have heard about the bad strain of flu virus going around this year.  We have seen it starting to move now somewhat through our school and classroom.  We are doing what we can here at school to prevent transmission from student to student.  You can help at home by reminding your child to wash his/her hands frequently and especially before eating. Please also remember that your child should be fever free for 24 hours before you send them to school as they are still contagious even after a fever has broken.  And finally, have each person in the family get the flu shot.  For more information on why this is important, please read this.


Reminders:
  • No school - Fri., January 18th (Teacher Work day)
  • No school - Mon., January 21st (MLK Day)
  • Send in your Boxtops if you have any, please.

-Mr. Pransky
