Everyone is off on Friday for P/T conference makeup day (as scheduled in the district calendar) and Monday is Presidents' Day. I hope everyone has a great extra long weekend.

Just a reminder that we are back to school tomorrow. Please make sure that you check your kids for illness before you send them to school. If your kids have any symptoms at all of the flu or strep please do not send them. If you are worried about attendance, please contact us and we will make sure to work it out. The only way to stop the flu from spreading is to make sure that sick kids are staying home and not on the bus or in the classroom. Thanks and I'm hoping we have turned the corner with this flu.
