| | | Cold and Flu Season are here! If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.
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 (NO fever) and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications (Acetaminophen/ Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school.
If your child suddenly comes down with the following symptoms: fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, rash, nausea or vomiting - we encourage 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. If you would like to pick up any homework after school, please let the secretary know at that time.

Make Hand-Washing a Habit Kids who wash their hands at least four times a day have 24 percent fewer sick days from colds and flu, and 51 percent fewer sick days due to stomach illnesses. (American Public Health Association).
Teach kids to scrub their whole hands - up to the wrists and under the fingernails - and to do it long enough to sing the ABCs or "Happy Birthday" all the way through. A timer works well, too. |
Students are not allowed to "self-medicate" themselves while at school. All meds must go to the office and must have a CLS Medication Form filled out completely. |

WALK FOR CANS
Monday, October 26th  Monday, October 26th, each class will have a thirty-minute period to walk a course on the school grounds. The course is about 1/5 of a mile and takes an adult about 3 minutes to walk. For each lap completed the student will receive the specified item (money or canned goods) pledged by his/her sponsor. All of the cans/money collected will be given to a local Food Bank to help families in our community. Please encourage your children to find sponsors for this event!
Preschool will be collecting food but will not be walking. In order for this event to be a success, we need parent volunteers!
Any amount of time that you can volunteer would be appreciated! Your hours will be counted for PPP Hours.
If you are able to help us this day, please contact Nancy or Mrs. Luehrs in the School Office |
CALVARY IS NOW A PEANUT FREE CAMPUS
Calvary has now become a Peanut/Tree Nut Free School campus.
We have several students who are extremely sensitive to any and all peanut/tree nuts products and this is very dangerous to their health and well-being. Some students could even have such a severe reaction to nuts that it becomes life threatening, and we wouldn't want this to happen.
We ask that everyone here at CLS to please do not send your child to school with any snacks or lunches that have peanuts or are from a tree nut. These types of snacks and lunches might be reserved for something special, like a special treat at home. Thank You

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. A fool spurns a parent's discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence. The house of the righteous contains great treasure, but the income of the wicked brings ruin. The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but the hearts of fools are not upright. The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness." (Prov. 15:1-9, NIV)
Please continue to keep our Pastor, Superintendent, teachers, students, parents and volunteers in your prayers throughout the school year. |
