This is a busy time of the year in school. We have a lot we need to learn. There has been a stomach virus going around in our class. If your child is sick, please keep them at home so we do not get others in the class sick as well. It is Cobb County policy to keep your child home for 24hours after they have thrown up. Even if they appear to feel better. Thanks for understanding! Lets keep our kids healthy!
