Dear Parents,
We are noticing an increase in students being sent to school after receiving medication at home. If a child requires medication for an illness, they should remain at home to rest and recover.
We are currently seeing higher numbers of flu cases in our community, and we appreciate your help in keeping all students and staff healthy—especially as we approach the holidays.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
Estimados padres:
Hemos notado un aumento en estudiantes que están siendo enviados a la escuela después de haber recibido medicación en casa. Si un niño necesita medicamento debido a una enfermedad, debe permanecer en casa para descansar y recuperarse.
Actualmente estamos viendo un aumento de casos de gripe en nuestra comunidad, y agradecemos su ayuda para mantener a todos los estudiantes y al personal saludables, especialmente durante la temporada de fiestas.
Gracias por su cooperación y apoyo.
