ILLNESS ALERT

We have a confirmed case of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in our school.  Symptoms include a runny nose, low-grade fever, sore throat and blister like rash.  The rash appears inside the mouth, on the palms and fingers of the hands and/or on the bottom of the feet.  Children must be free of a fever for 24 hours prior to returning to school and feeling well enough to participate in normal activity.  Sores and rash may still be present.

There have been several cases of Pertussis (Whooping Cough) at World Learner School.  A case has not been reported at Jonathan Montessori, but we wanted to make parents aware of this situation as it is in the building.   Here is a link to the health department for more information: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/idepc/diseases/pertussis/pfacts.html

FAMILY PICNIC

The end of the year family picnic will be held on Friday June 1.  It is a great way to end the year by sharing a pot luck meal and some outdoor fun all together.  Our picnic will be at Lion’s Park in Chaska from 6:00 pm – 8:00 p.m.  Please put the date on your calendar!  We have created a sign-up online for items to bring to the potluck.  Use this link to pick out what you would like to bring:  www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F0E4CAFA62FAB9-family
