“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”-Albert Schweitzer

 Special Note to Parents About Early Dismissals

Re:         Dismissal procedure for illness/injury

If a student is being dismissed due to illness/injury the student must be dismissed from the nurses office. This procedure protects student safety and serves as a record for the nurse.
