As we return to school, we encourage families to take a few simple steps to help reduce the spread of illness. Washing bookbags jackets, and lunch boxes, reminding children to wash their hands often, and practicing good hygiene can make a big difference. Please also remember that students should be fever-free and vomit-free for at least 24 hours before returning to school. Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy.
Have a great afternoon - we look forward to seeing all of our LIONS back in the building on Wednesday.
