Is your child not feeling well?  
 Sick Child

  

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.

Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.  

"We don't give up. Our bodies are becoming weaker and weaker. 
But our spirits are being renewed day by day. 
Our troubles are small. They last only for a short time. 
But they are earning for us a glory that will last forever. 
It is greater than all our troubles. So we don't spend all our time looking 
at what we can see. Instead, we look at what we can't see. 
That's because what can be seen lasts only a short time. 
But what can't be seen will last forever."  
(2 Cor. 4:16-18, NIRV)

 Bible and Glasses
      
Please continue to keep our Pastor, Superintendent, teachers, students, parents 
and volunteers in your prayers throughout the school year.
