Flu and Heath Update

Teasley Families - we want to make sure you are aware of the information provided by School Health Services that may help stop the spread of the flu. Please take time to visit this webpage for the tips and information they have provided. If a child has a lowgrade fever or they are not feeling well, we ask you to please keep them at home.  Those who have the flu (with or without fever) are highly contagious. Please know that we are all working hard at Teasley to disinfect classrooms and sanitize door knobs, hallway and stair railings and other public surfaces.  We hope you all stay well during this flu season!! 

On a side note, our class has been going strong (no absences due to illness in a week or so) and I hope to keep it that way.  If your child does end up getting the Flu and you get this confirmed with a doctor, please let me know so that I can take further action to disinfect my classroom.

Thank you!

Holiday Events Update

Hello fabulous families,

Thank you to everyone who came out last night for our 5^th grade Sweet Karols. I was VERY proud of our class!

With the snow day, our schedule was thrown a bit, so I wanted to provide a quick update:

·       Monday is the grade-level winter celebration. If you have not had an opportunity to sign up for anything, please consider donating YOUR TIME! We are in need of crayon shavers. One of the ornaments that the students make requires crayon shavings. It is difficult and slightly dangerous for the students to shave their own crayons; therefore, we have asked for parents to volunteer to shave the crayons. We send home baggies of crayons to be shaved, and the shavings simply need to be returned by Friday. Please sign up if you are able! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050f48ada629a57-winter

·       Don’t forget to send in $5 for Monday’s lunch! As of yesterday, I had only received $15 for our class.

Thank you to all of you for your support of our holiday events. I know we’ve asked A LOT of you over the past month. You are SO APPRECIATED!!!
