The body must have glucose in order to function properly. By morning, our bodies have been without food for a full 12 or more hours. Be sure your child is well-groomed with clean bodies, hair, and clothing. They will act and feel more alert and ready to listen, focus, and learn. Students miss much information that is given in the classroom setting if they are absent.
Attendance is vital for a successful student.
Our staff is well-informed about signs and symptoms of illness and do not hesitate to have the school nurse assess a student that is not feeling well. If you, as a parent, have a concern, please call. If your child's temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit or more, they should be kept home. Please do not mask a temperature with a fever-reducing medication and send them to school anyway. They are still contagious and may infect their classmates before the fever becomes apparent when the medication is no longer effective.
