Dear Lower School Families,

 

Happy Veterans Day to our Lower School community. Our students have had an opportunity this week to share the names of someone who has served in the military. We are collecting those names for our school community to see—please feel free to send any names with your child, and we will help them add them to our Honor and Remembrance list.

*Fever-Free Expectation: A student must be fever-free for 24 hours without medications.

*If a child vomits at school (or on the bus), the student will be sent home. The student may return when they have been vomit-free for 24 hours.

 

Beginning on November 28 (post-Thanksgiving) to March 27 (post-Spring Break), Lower School students are required to wear long pants or leggings/tights at all times and to wear a jacket or heavy sweatshirt when going outside.

 

On snowy days when there is outdoor recess and sledding, students are required to wear the Big 5: jacket, gloves/mittens, hat, snow pants, and boots in order to play in the snow. Please pay attention to morning weather reports—and err on the side of caution—so your child will not be caught at school unprepared for sudden changes. Except under the most extreme weather conditions, children play outdoors every day. Closed-toe shoes should be worn each day to school, so that students may safely enjoy recess and Physical Education classes.

 

An update will be coming soon with more details about this exciting and special day!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
