e-rate Surveys
We are sending out e-rate surveys again because so many families have not turned one in.  We need to have these surveys completed so that we can get a reduction in our phone rates.  Please return your survey if you haven’t already done so.  Remember, the results are kept confidential.

We are continuing to take precautions against this virus by wiping down surfaces with disinfectant, and instructing students to cover coughs etc.  If your child does not feel well, please keep him/her home from school!!  In addition, please follow these tips:
•    Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
•    Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
