Please be advised that you should have received an email from me about the IXL program that is free for the next 29 days. A couple of the emails bounced back. If Oka, Hemanth's or Amin's parents read this message please email me so I can make sure you receive the information too. I am also going to go back into my email to see if I can find a message from you. Stay safe. More programs and activities will either be sent to you or added to this website. Please make sure to check out the science links for all 4 units too.

Note From The Health Department
We respect and appreciate your concern for your child’s school attendance; however, when students are sick, the best thing you can do is to keep them at home. This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers. We advise parents to keep their children home if they display any of the following symptoms:
•Fever of 100 degrees F or higher
•Nausea or vomiting
•Severe headache
•Diarrhea
•Red, watery eyes with yellow drainage
•Unexplained rash
Children may return to school when they have been fever-free without medication for at least 24 hours. Help protect your children, and their classmates, when they’re under the weather so that they can return to the classroom healthy and ready to learn!
Thank you,
School Health Nurse
