- Message from the school nurse: Due to the increase in the number of flu cases and other illnesses in our schools and community we are asking parents to assist us with the appropriate time for your child to return to school. Please review the following guidelines: Fever: Your child should stay home if he/she has a fever of 100 degrees (orally) or more and should remain home for 24 hours after the fever has gone---without the assistance of Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, etc. Vomiting or Diarrhea: Your child should stay home if he/she has vomited or has diarrhea (more than 1 loose stool) within 2 hours prior to the start of school. They must have eaten and tolerated at least 1 normal meal before returning to school. Strep Throat: If you child has been diagnosed as having strep throat (this requires a special test by your doctor), your child should stay home 24 hours after antibiotic therapy has been started. Our goal is to keep the entire school population as healthy as possible.
- Girls on the Run Registration is going on now! This is a great opportunity for girls who are in 5th grade and would like to connect with others while they learn about selfrespect, confidence, and making healthy decisions. This is a 10 week program and the GOTR club will meet twice a week after school at Brock's Gap Intermediate. We are proposing Tuesday andThursday as our meeting days until 4:45pm.
