PRINCIPAL’S NOTES
- PROMOTING A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT
As we begin a new school year, it’s important to remember the ways we can work together to keep our community healthy and safe from the spread of germs. To that end, please adhere to the following practices:- If your child has a fever (100.4 degrees or over) he/she must stay home until fever free for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medicine. Under this guideline, a child who is sent home from school with a fever must remain at home the following day as well.
- For gastrointestinal illnesses, if your child is experiencing nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, please keep him/her home until symptom free for at least 24 hours.Again, under this guideline, a child who is sent home from school with any of these symptoms must remain at home the following day as well.
- For strep throat, if your child has a sore throat that comes on quickly, has pain when swallowing, swollen tonsils, small red dots on the back roof of the mouth and/or white patches, please keep him/her home until cleared by a doctor.
- Review at home the importance of washing hands frequently, especially after using the bathroom and before handling food.
- Use alcohol based hand sanitizers as an alternative to washing hands when there isn’t ready access to warm water and soap.
- CHANGES TO PICKUP
If there are any changes in the way your child is normally picked up from school, please call the main office to confirm the change.
- PARENT PORTAL
Parent Portal in Genesis is open for parents to access. Please log in to sign off on the Student/Family Handbook, the Acceptable Use Policy, and our Photo Release form. These documents must be viewed and signed off by 9/14 or Parent Portal access will be locked. If you experience any difficulty logging in, please contact Mrs. Kulbick (jkulbick@scbpschool.com).
- DEMOGRAPHICS FORM
A demographics form was sent home on Tuesday, September 4. Please complete and send back to the school. This is important to ensure that our records in Genesis are current and accurate.
That’s all for this week. As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions, comments, or concerns.
Best,
Jeff Johnson, Th.M, Ed.S
