Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
It’s finally fall y’all! We have so many exciting events happening this month. Please make sure to look at the October Calendar online as well as updates and reminders sent to you via Tadpoles.
We hope the beginning of Fall will bring us cooler weather, (fingers crossed) however with that cooler weather also comes the flu, (boo!). This year we want to do everything we can to keep the flu from spreading to a minimum. Please make sure you are keeping your children home if they are showing any signs or symptoms of illness and have them seen by a pediatrician before returning to school. We want to keep our school as safe and healthy as possible for everyone who walks through our doors!
I hope everyone has an awesome October!
Tanna Kee
