It is extremely important to NEVER send your child to school when they are ill with a fever or virus. Please follow the school policy of having your child be fever-free for 24 hours before they return to the classroom. Also, we have students in the building who are allergic to peanuts and other types of ground or tree nuts. Please be Christ-like in consideration of all of our students while packing a snack or lunch for your child. Thank you for helping to make our school a safe and healthy place for our children!
