This is a friendly reminder that as we continue to work through COVID-19 please wash/sanitize your scholar(s) hats, gloves, jackets, and coats OFTEN. In addition please be sure to disinfect and sanitize student devices, cords, lunch boxes, and backpacks daily. Adhering to these reminders will assist greatly with keeping our scholars and staff members as safe as possible. Ensure your scholar is equipped daily with at least 2 bottles/or a refillable container of water and at least 2 replacement masks daily. Last, please remember DO NOT send your child to school when they are not well.

Mrs. Virgil, Principal Secretary

As we continue to safely navigate through this pandemic and the cold and flu season, CMIT North Elementary would like to send a friendly reminder to parents/guardians to keep their child(ren) home if they are not feeling well. Resting at home will help them get better more quickly and will prevent them from exposing other children or the staff to their illness. If your child is running a fever of 100.4 or greater, feels nauseous or vomits, and/or has diarrhea they are not permitted to come to school. In addition, they should be fever free and symptom free without medication for a full 24 hours from the onset of the fever or symptoms prior to returning to school. If you have any questions regarding your child’s health and well being, you may reach out to their healthcare provider or you may contact the school nurse, Nurse Ann at sally.warf@pgcps.org. Please review the attached document for additional information: Department of Student Services - Office of School Health “WHEN TO STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL/WORK” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hipCbk8oPoiXRxt7OEC6juGllBLqwi9t/view?usp=sharing
