Little Caesars Fundraiser

Don’t forget that the Little Caesars Fundraiser is going on now!  This fundraiser runs through Wednesday, May 5.  See attached flyer for more information.

Shorts and Capris Pants

Help Needed

Many of you may be wondering what to do when your child develops new symptoms that most likely is related to a typical cold but are also possible symptoms related to COVID-19.

    • new or worsening cough
    • difficulty breathing
    • a new loss of taste and smell

Additionally, all siblings must also remain home for 10 days or until a health care provider gives the ok. For more information or questions on whether you should send your child to school, please contact Susan Van Houten or your child’s teacher.
