This Friday, November 10th, we would like for everyone to wear purple to show our support of Veterans Day. Why purple? Because purple is a blend of red and blue. When our all-volunteer military men and women enlist to serve our nation, they don't sign up to serve a red state or a blue state, or one political faction but not another, they serve America.

Light Up the Night
80s Themed Glow Dance
We are so excited about our upcoming 80s themed Glow Dance!
A few things to remember-* A parent or guardian HAS to be present with the child/children.
* If you have children in multiple grades, (ie. lower and upper) which would result in your family attending two dances, you have two options. You may all come on either night of your choice OR you may purchase tickets for each night and bring the children on their designated grade level night.
* Its ok if you don't have 80s attire! We will have blacklights so anything bright or white will work. Just plan to have FUN!
*Tickets must be purchased PRIOR to the event so we can make sure to have enough food etc.

Flu Letter And Information
A Note from Nurse Crystal
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It’s that time of year and, unfortunately, flu season is here in the community and within our school. Flu symptoms can come on suddenly. Please DO NOT send your child to school with the following symptoms:
-
Feeling feverish/chills or a fever of 100 degrees or higher within the last 24 hours. This includes children who were dismissed the previous day due to fever. They will NOT be able to return to class, per district policy, until they are fever free for 24 hours. Students MUST be fever free WITHOUT the use of Tylenol or Motrin for 24 hours before returning.
-
Vomiting and/or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
-
Continuous coughing with or without fever.
-
Sore throat, flu-like symptoms such as: fever (100-102 degrees), headache, cough, muscle aches, fatigue (weakness/tiredness)
Please keep in mind not everyone with the flu will have a fever over 100. Some may have a low grade fever, under 100 degrees, along with other flu-like symptoms.
*TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY*
-Frequent hand washing with soap and water is the best way to prevent the spread of germs.
-Cover your cough with a tissue or use your elbow if no tissue is available
-8-10 hours of sleep each night, eating healthy foods and staying hydrated with water
-Consult with your child’s pediatrician about information concerning the flu vaccine
*If your child has been tested for the flu and has a CONFIRMED case of the flu from the doctor, please notify your child’s teacher and school nurse as soon as possible. For attendance purposes, please obtain a medical excuse from the doctor’s office and submit an excuse to the school.
For more health related information concerning the flu, please visit or visit Services→When to stay home.
