Notes From the Office: September 25th, 2017

 

It was a warm, but gorgeous weekend. The students and parents are very busy with weekend activities. I hope everyone takes some time to rest and thank God for all our blessings.  School is in full swing and the students seem very engaged in their studies. The teachers are in the process of completing the classroom spelling bee, which will culminate with the schoolwide bee.


The before and after school traffic flow has been fairly smooth, but there are a few concerns. In the afternoon, please do not turn left onto Main from Military Street. This causes a traffic jam when we are letting the cars out of the lot. Secondly, if you are going to walk your child into the primary building (K-2) please park in a parking spot. When you stop in front of the building and walk your child in you create a traffic jam and sometimes unsafe conditions. Thank you for your help with these matters.


If you have any concerns please let me know. This is the only way we can make St. John School a better place.

 

God bless and take care,

 

Dan Mardell

Health/Medications

It may sometimes be necessary for a child to take over-the-counter or prescribed medication during the school day.  Written instructions must be made available to the office giving the following information  (without this information, medicines will not be given to your child):

 

1. Time the medication needs to be taken.
2. Medicine must be properly labeled and in the original container.
3. Amount of medication to be given.
4. Parent's signature.

Do not send your child to school if they have had any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:

 

• Fever
• Nausea or vomiting
• Earache
• Abdominal cramps
• Diarrhea
• A cold (when symptoms are not due to allergy)
• Sore throat
• Unidentified rash
• Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
• Any infectious disease your doctor has diagnosed
• Head lice

If your child is sent to school with any of the above symptoms, you will be contacted to pick up your child.  The student must be out of school for 24 hours, or may return sooner with a release from a doctor.

Congratulations to our 2nd grade class for having the most visits to Chick-fil-a during Spirit Week.  They will receive a cookie party and get to have the stuffed Chick-fil-a cow in their classroom!!!  Our school will receive a check for $89.19 from Chick-fil-a.  Thank you to everyone who supported our school during Spirit Week!
