 IMPORTANT NOTES & REMINDERS HOT LUNCH: Hot Lunch MUST be ordered no later than Tuesday 12:00 noon before the Friday Hot Lunch is served. If your child brings money the day of hot lunch, your child may be not be guaranteed a "Friday Hot Lunch." Students who paid and signed up ahead of time will be served first. CLS IS A PEANUT/TREE NUT FREE SCHOOL CAMPUS: We have several students who are extremely sensitive to any and all peanut/tree nut 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. 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. NOTE: With all the Christmas parties that are to take place, please remember any candies or treats that you bring to school must be nut free. Please check with your child's classroom teacher. Thank You! BE ON TIME/PUNCTUALITY: It is important for all of our children to learn that getting to school on time, turning in assignments thoroughly completed and within the allotted days, and always being prepared are not only vital for school but important elements of success as an adult. REST & NUTRITION: Make sure you child gets adequate rest every night and a nourishing breakfast each morning. Your child needs a good fruit break and lunch each day. Please do not send soft drinks or sugary treats. AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP: Plan to pick up your child(ren) by 3:00 p.m. every day. Half-days are 11:30 a.m. If you are unable to pick up your child up by 3:10 p.m., (or 11:40 a.m. on half-days), your child(ren) will automatically go to Calvary Club and you will be held responsible for any charges. LOST & FOUND: Please check the Lost & Found bin and recover your child's clothes or other valuables. Please write the names or initials of your students on clothes and valuables in case they get misplaced. If the name is on the item, we can often return it to its owner. **Clothing items not recovered will be donated next week. |
Year-end (2015) Tax-deductible Gifts
Prayerfully consider making a generous year-end gift to Calvary Lutheran School to support our kids and the ministry here at CLS. It is easy to do and is also tax-deductible for this year if it is postmarked by December 31, 2015. Gifts of any size are greatly appreciated. Most contributions to Calvary Lutheran are check and/or cash gifts, entitling you to a tax benefits through itemized deductions. Please make your checks payable to Calvary Lutheran. We will follow up with a donation letter. Calvary Lutheran is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. |
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), no diarrhea, 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. Again, a child must NOT have had a fever and/or not vomiting, without any medication in their system for at least 24 hours before they may be able to return to school. 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.
