View this email in your browser A Note from the Principals Good morning everyone!  I hope you had a restful weekend. This week is Dr. Seuss week. Join us in the wacky days planned for this week!! Thursday is our first carnival meeting. If you are interested in being on the carnival marketing or entertainment committee please see the office as soon as possible! It seems we have been having a pretty bad cold & flu season so far. With all the talk of the Corona virus, the teachers and I are making an intentional effort to try to keep germs at a minimum this year. All teachers are wiping down their rooms daily with Clorox wipes and we always have hand sanitizer available. We are now bringing all students to the restroom before lunch to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water. Though we hate to see students miss school, if your child has a fever or is not feeling well, please keep them at home. Please see the attached letter re: the Corona Virus. ::CARNIVAL NEWS:: Carnival $50 food donation is due this month. IF you haven't already paid for the tickets, they will be charged to your March Tads.  Reminder: Re-registration is open! Please see the office if you have any questions or need help registering online. We'd be glad to sit down with you! CEF applications for financial aid are available in the school office. If you require any reduced tuition next year you MUST complete the application and turn it into the school office before March 31st.  Have a great week!
