HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF VIRUS'S!

It is that time of the year that we have to prevent the spread of the flu as well as other virus's. Please keep your children home if they have any Flu or Covid like symptoms such as a fever over 100.5, muscle aches, sore throat, headaches and fatigue. If their symptoms and fever continue after 48 hours please take them to see your family physician, urgent care or emergency room.

Thank You,
