| | | Is your child not feeling well? 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.
Flu shots are now available at your local physician's office or clinic.

Students are not allowed to "self-medicate" themselves while at school. All meds must go to the school office and must have a Medication Form filled out in full (see below).
Prescription medications will ONLY be given with written permission from the prescribing physician or with the prescription label on the medication container. WRITTEN permission is needed from parent/guardian for OVER-THE-COUNTER DRUGS. You may wish to ask your doctor to order medication divided into 2 bottles, each with a prescription label, so that you can keep one at school and one at home.
Please fill out a "Medication Form" for each and every medicine that is to be given to you child. Click here to download this form
Medication that needs to be stored in the refrigerator will be stored in the school office refrigerator.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school secretary by phone at (510) 278-2598 or e-mail schoolsecretary@calvaryslz.org

WALK FOR CANS  Our school has a wonderful opportunity to serve others in our community, by walking for cans. On 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 please contact Nancy in the School Office |

Praise to God for a Living Hope
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope , through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." (1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV)
Please continue to keep our Pastor, Superintendent, teachers, students, parents and volunteers in your prayers throughout the school year. |
