Parents, it’s time for your child to show heart! This year, we are launching the Kids Heart Challenge, formerly Jump Rope for Heart. It’s your child’s chance to be a Heart Hero by learning about heart health, spreading the word and raising funds to save other children.
Have your child go to heart.org/kidsheartchallenge so they can take one of the three challenges and email family and friends to ask for donations. Your child will earn a glow-in-the-dark wristband just for registering online! When they get donations, they will receive Echo, Finn and a clasp! In addition to the other prizes your child can earn by collecting donations – they will also be helping our school!
The American Heart Association will donate a percentage back to the school so that we can purchase PE Equipment! The school wide goal this year is $4000. We can do it!!

We are experiencing a high number of students attending school with flu symptoms or symptoms leading to high fever or flu diagnosis. Please understand, if your student is sent to school with flu-like symptoms and they exhibit a high fever, fatigue due to illness and/or vomiting we must send them home.
It is very important for the safety of all other students and our staff that students who have been diagnosed or show signs of flu be treated by a doctor and not attend school until they are well.
Students should stay home for treatment and observation if he or she

· Fever (greater than 100 degrees; your child may return to school only after his or her temperature has been consistently below 100 degrees for a minimum of 24 hours)
· Vomiting (even once)
· Diarrhea
· Chills
· General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or muscle aches
· Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough
· Lots of nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose
It is very important to adhere to the guidelines for treatment, observation and keeping students home when they are not in the best of health. We appreciate your cooperation and support in keeping our campus healthy.
