Asthma

The summer months are a wonderful time for our kids to play and enjoy the outdoors. However, the air quality can pose a threat to those people with compromised respiratory problems such as asthma. Smog becomes a real issue that has to be kept up with everyday. I am providing you with a link to the Clear Air Campaign that will allow you to decide if your child should limit their outdoor activity. Have a great summer! http://www.cleanaircampaign.org/Air-We-Breathe/Today-s-Air-Quality

Too Sick for School

Parents, I advise that you ALWAYS check your child in the morning before sending them to school.  Please use these guidelines to prevent the spread of contagious diseases.  Do not leave it up to your child to decide if they want to go to school even though they are sick.  They put the other students and the teacher at risk of becoming ill. Regardless how much they want to come to school if they are sick they MUST stay home.  A sick child can not learn!
