Illness Policy Reminder
Our parents are vital partners in helping us to maintain a safe and healthy environment for the students in our school. The most important thing you can do to assist us in creating a healthy environment is to keep your child home if they are ill. This reduces the spread of illness and allows your child to fully recuperate. Children may not attend school until they have been symptom free for 24 hours if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees of more—must be fever free for 24 hours with no fever-reducing medicine before returning to school
- Vomiting, diarrhea or stomach upset
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring wiping every 3-5 minutes

Ways to Celebrate American Indian & Alaska Native Heritage Month
with Your Child
November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. It is a time to honor the culture, accomplishments, and contributions of Native Americans. When children acknowledge and appreciate diverse cultures, they are helping to build a community of belonging and inclusion. Celebrate with your child this month by trying some of our ideas below.
- Read books about American Indian and Alaska Native characters
Books are a wonderful way to expand your child’s awareness and appreciation of diverse cultures. A few of our favorites to celebrate American Indians and Alaska Natives include, “Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story” by Kevin Noble Maillard, “We are Water Protectors” by Carole Lindstrom, and “Mama, Do You Love Me?” by Barbara M. Joosse.
- Make a traditional meal
The diet of American Indians and Alaska Natives included vegetables found on the land around them. This month, cook the traditional ”three sisters” (corn, squash, beans) soup. Encourage your child to help measure, scoop and pour the ingredients.
- Explore your region’s resources
Check your local area for festivals or museums with Native American exhibits. Libraries and schools also often host events, such as dance performances and puppet shows for younger children. Afterwards, ask your child about some of the favorite things they saw.
- Take a nature walk
Explain to your child that connecting with nature was an important part of Native American culture. November is a great time to get outdoors and take a walk together. Talk about the things you see, hear, and smell around you.
