Do you know a family who is interested in Calvary, please have them contact the school secretary to receive an information packet and set-up an appointment to take a tour, or they may also be able to shadow one of our students.

     The Cold and Flu Season are here  Sick Child
 
If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home. 

We have many mom's who are expecting babies, and many new born siblings who come to CLS and we do not want them or the other students to get sick.  Please do your part in making the right decision if you should keep your child home or send them to school. 

If your child's temperature is 99.6 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature.  Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.

A child must be fever free and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications (Tylenol, Motrin, or Ibuprofen) in their system for 24 hours before they can return to school.

Is your child very tired?  Does s/he have a dry cough (as opposed to one that's mucus-y)?  Is his/her appetite decreased?  Any aches or chills?  

If your child shows any of these symptoms, we courage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.

Do not forget to let your school secretary know that your child will not be in school and if you would like to pick up any homework after school.

Thank You.       

 
Outbreak of Measles in California
 
A measles outbreak largely linked to Disneyland has now infected over 100 people across the state.

"CDPH is urging caution to individuals who are not vaccinated, especially infants under 12 months of age."

Measles, a highly contagious viral disease wide-spread in many parts of the world, begins with a fever that lasts for a couple of days, followed by a cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis (pink eye) and a rash, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The rash typically appears first on the face, along the hairline and behind the ears and then affects the rest of the body. Infected people are usually contagious from about four days before their rash starts to four days afterwards.

Public health officials around the state, but particularly in Southern California, where the outbreak is the worst, have been asking parents to have their children immunized.  The disease is highly transmissible by air-droplets from an infected person's cough can remain suspended in the air for up to two hours, the CDC notes, and the virus can live for just as long on services.

If you have any questions regarding measles, we encourage you to contact your local physician.

"In light of all this, here's what I want you to do. ...I want you to get out there and walk-better yet, run!-on the road God called you to travel. I don't want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don't want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline-not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.

 

You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness."  (Eph. 4:1-5 - Msg)
