This time of year serves as an opportunity for reflection and gratitude. We have had an amazing first trimester of school and it’s hard to believe that we are one-third of the way through the school year.
During the months of colder weather, we see an increase of students experiencing symptoms of illness including fever, cough and sore throat which are often seen in COVID-19, RSV and influenza. If your child is feeling ill, we request they remain at home until they are well enough to return to school.
