Reminders from your School Nurses:
Please keep your student home if he/she is ill with two or more symptoms of COVID-19 (headache, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, cough, short of breath, extreme fatigue, chills/shivering/shaking/sweating, new loss of smell/taste, or fever). This is for the health and safety of all students and staff and to help us be in school for as long as we can. We do realize allergy and harvest seasons are upon us and will do our best, however a doctor’s note may be required as proof of alternate diagnosis.
If your student is sent home with two or more symptoms, they are not tested for COVID, and do not have an alternate diagnosis (influenza, strep throat, etc.), the student must remain out of school and all activities for ten days from symptom onset.
These are the guidelines the state of Kansas has set forth for schools to follow as we return to in-person learning.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Erin Winger and Whitney McCauley

Students in Mrs. Enneking's Class used their body smarts in a warm, ice free snowball fight to practice their sight word recognition skills. Students selected a snowball, read the word to themselves, a friend or teacher and then recorded them on their paper. Then, snowballs were molded and thrown. Students retrieved another ball and repeated the process. The kids had a blast! Always a fun way to be up and moving and practicing a needed reading skills without cold fingers and toes!!! #HESRedHawks #RedHawkReady #APlusKan

Students in Mrs. LeMay's class worked all week on a word resolution for the new year.

Mrs. Schuetz's Kindergarten class enjoyed making gingerbread cookies after reading The Gingerbread Man story. They learned about story elements, sight words, and punctuation marks this week. While making the cookies, they reviewed letter sounds and were introduced to measurement vocabulary. Another important learning concept was listening and following multi-step directions while creating the actual man out of the cookie dough. Of course the best part of the activity was eating it!! #HESRedHawks #RedHawkReady #APlusKan
