CALVARY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

CLS Teachers need your help on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. We are in need of parent volunteers to assist in covering recess breaks (9:55 a.m. - 10:20 a.m.), and then for lunch recess (11:20 a.m. - 1:10 p.m.). Please see the school secretary if you are able to help. Remember, your time helping CLS helps you to deduct those PPP hours

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