 Information for the week of January 27th

Reminder: Keep Sick Children Home
As flu season is in full swing, we kindly ask for your cooperation in preventing the spread of illness at school.

• If your child has a fever today, they should stay home tomorrow.
• If you need to give your child fever-reducing medication today, they should not attend school tomorrow.
• If you feel the need to give your child medicine in the morning just to get them through the school day, please keep them home.
• If your child is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea today, they should not return to school tomorrow.

Keeping sick or still-recovering children at home helps protect the health of other students and staff. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

A note from Mr. Flatten

There has been added interest in a voucher program in the state of South Dakota. This program allocates state funds for tuition fees that can be used at schools other than public schools. The Sanborn Central School Board and I stand in opposition to school vouchers unless the same accountability and reporting are also required from those receiving the voucher.
