Parents:
There are two forms coming home today. One for Vision Screening and one for flu shots. We will have both on campus on Oct. 21st, but we need the forms by this Friday (Oct. 10th).
Vision screening is a service that we offer our students. Parents you may “Opt Out” if you wish. Otherwise, we will screen them on Oct 21st.
Flu shots are also a service that we offer our students. Parents you will have to “Opt In” if you want your child to participate. Keep in mind if your child is young (PK-4) or has an aversion to needles you may want to be here with them if they are going to receive a shot. Shots are on Oct 21st.
Just a quick update on the some ongoing construction. We have replaced all the tables in the cafeteria and moved the dumpsters to the back of the campus. Lastly, we added a covered walkway to load the bus. We hope the students enjoy them. Stay tuned for more as the year goes on.
