THE COLDS ARE HERE!  THE COLDS ARE HERE!
Please know that a variety of colds are now sweeping through the upper grades.
It is okay and advisable to keep your student home if he or she is sick.
Sending sick students to school often only means we are spreading the illness.
Frequently, many sick students come to school and try to sleep or are just miserable.
