- Thank you for helping your child remember to pack a healthy snack, water bottle, and the planner every day.
- I’ve been asked: What should I do if my child has cold or allergy symptoms? If your child doesn’t have symptoms of COVID-19, such as cough, chest pain, fever, and such, then I am asking that parents use their best judgment when deciding to send their child to school.
- The PikMyKid app is working well for our end-of-day dismissal. Here are some reminders:
- It closes for changes at 3:10.
- Parents may begin to announce their arrival at 3:20.
- Students begin to be dismissed at 3:20.
- Our specials rotation changed today. We will have music Monday through Wednesday and computer skills Thursday & Friday. You can view our schedule here: https://johnsond.weebly.com/schedule.html
- The Midland County Health Department does hearing & vision screenings for all ages. To schedule an appointment, please call Christy at 989-832-6673.
- As a precautionary measure, please periodically check your child’s head for lice.
- Please remember to send in doctor’s notes for absences to be excused (i.e. orthodontist, dental, PT, doctor, etc.). Thank you so much.
- Our RTC is in need of a couple donations. We could use fabric bandages (all one size & not antibacterial), disinfectant wipes, and snack-sized Ziplocs. Thank you for your consideration.
