Parents and Guardians,
We sent 15 students home today that were vomiting. Some had a fever but not all of them. We had 12 students that were home sick today that didn't come to school, so we have a major bug going around. I spoke with the Marion County Health Department today and she said students who are vomiting, have a fever, or diarrhea need to stay home for 24 hours after their last episode with no medication. This is extremely important to keep the bug from spreading to other students and staff. Please follow this rule! We have students who return to school the day after we send them home. This exposes everyone at school and only makes things worse for everyone else. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
There has been a time change for the JH Basketball games tonight at Peabody. The girls JV will begin at 4 followed by 2 quarters of boys' JV followed by the girls and boys varsity games. They are doing a rolling schedule so the games will start immediately following the completion of the first game. Please be careful.
Free virtual parenting classes.
The junior class students on the field trip to Topeka today will return back to school a little after 4:00 this afternoon due to a mechanical issue with the bus. We will transport any students home if needed.

Congratulations to our two Special Education teachers Amy Pagenkopf and Megan Wheeler on this great accomplishment!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is picture re-take day. If you were not satisfied with the pictures your student took the first time, or if they were gone the day of the pictures, please let the office know and we will get them taken again tomorrow.
Thanks
Here are the events this week! Good luck to our JH BB teams who start playing this week!
We had a great turnout for our Veteran's Day program this afternoon and the students all did great. Thank you Mrs. Harmes for your hard work.
Just another reminder to send your student to school with the clothes they need for the weather we are having, and please don't let them bring blankets to school.
Because of a large number of students going on the Tampa trip December 5th, we have moved our concert date to December 13th at 2:00 in the afternoon. I realize this is not ideal for everyone to attend, but there are no open evenings in the month of December. Thank you for understanding.
Parents I just wanted to remind you that since the weather is supposed to get pretty cold over the next several days, please be sure your children come to school dressed for the cold weather. The younger students will still go out for recess with these temperatures, so we want them to be warm and cozy. Also, tomorrow is the last day for Butter Braid orders for our PTO. Don't forget our Veteran's Day program tomorrow at 9:00 in the main gym.
November 15, 2022 Board Agenda
Parents and Students attending the Tampa trip please contact the office to let us know who will be absent during those days and we will make arrangements for their work to be sent home to complete before they go on the trip. Thank you for your cooperation and have a great time!
