This week in First grade...

April 11th- 15th Reminders... **If your child is sick (symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat or vomiting) the Caraway policy states the students must be symptom free, without medication, for 24 hours before returning to school. This will prevent the spread of germs and sickness to other children and the adults in our classroom.
