January 2026 Knight News banner

Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, we are thrilled to welcome our students and families back to the classroom. A new year offers a fresh start and a wonderful opportunity to renew our commitment to keeping our school community safe, vibrant, and ready to learn.

To ensure a healthy and productive start to 2026, we’re asking for your help in keeping our school community safe.

Health & Safety Reminders:

  • Hand Hygiene: We are emphasizing frequent hand washing throughout the day. Please reinforce this habit at home to help stop the spread of seasonal germs.

  • Stay Home if Sick: To protect our classrooms, please keep students home if they are experiencing a fever, persistent cough, or general illness. They should be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning.

  • Reporting Absences: If your child is staying home, please notify the school office and send in a note upon their return. Keeping us informed helps us support your child’s recovery and track health trends.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school healthy and ready to learn!

💜 Mrs. Vaughn & Mrs. Phelps
