What do I do if my child is feeling ill?

We have strict guidelines that require us to send home students who are ill or symptomatic. If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home. It will save you and us, a lot of time and energy as you are asked to come get them right away. If your student misses class our staff will work hard to provide the resources and materials needed to continue learning. Please refer to this attached flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XqS0X3WjX-9BmQ7ANazcJOfCgeCZ67jW/view

Safety:

We ask that you be patient with us during our first week as we establish our routine and procedures concerning physical distancing and routines with our students and staff. We know that it is going to be messy for the first few days. We know we will have less children riding the bus so we will have an increase in the number of families who will be dropping off and picking up their children. For the safety of everyone, please drive very carefully within our school zone. 

Questions:

Please call our main office if you have any questions at 541.663.3501. Our wonderful Mrs. Connie will help you or direct you to the staff member who can answer any questions.

We are very excited to see our students and families again. We can’t wait to see you! Remember to air hug and high 5!  

WE APPRECIATE FAMILIES WORKING THROUGH THIS WITH US AND YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDES IN HELPING US MAKE THIS REOPENING AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE.

THANK YOU,

MRS. MAYES AND CENTRAL STAFF
