Parents--Please check your child's temperature and symptoms prior to sending them to school. There is a lot of illness that we don't wish to continue to share with everyone over and over again. If your child is ill, please keep them home until they are no longer running a fever for 24 hours without medication or until their symptoms improve. Thank you so much! Happy Holidays!

The schools will be dismissing at 2:20 PM on Tuesday 12/20 and Wednesday 12/21.
