We ask parents to carefully monitor their child's health and keep sick children home.

A fever always means stay home until the child has been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication.
-
Diarrhea/Vomiting always means stay home until the symptom has resolved without the use of medication.
-
Teachers who notice signs of illness will alert the office and parents will be notified to pick up their child as needed.
Daily Practices

Our custodial staff completes robust sanitizing and disinfecting nightly throughout our spacious facility.

Parents help by honoring our community guidelines to be fully current with all immunizations and to keep sick children at home.

Children learn proper hand-washing, toileting and healthy eating practices.
