Good Afternoon,

There seems to be a bug or two going around in our room. Last week we had many students out (close to half the class!) due to illness, and it looks like we are continuing this week. Several students have already gone home today and one more is waiting to get picked up as we speak. This is just a friendly reminder that sickness happens, and to please keep your son/daughter home when they are not feeling well. We also understand that students can feel fine in the morning and start feeling sick once they are here – that is o.k., there is no judgement here! Additionally, we know that some students will insist on coming to school, but we ask that you stand firm and keep them home when they are sick. It’s very difficult when a student is not feeling well and they have already made their way to a job site, or when we have to stop instruction to make multiple calls home. We like to remind everyone that we will have your student for approximately eight years (that’s a long time!) …..they will have everything they need by the time they exit our program. Taking time off when they are sick will not hurt their progress and will help to keep everyone here healthy as well! Thank you so much for your understanding.
