Unfortunately, many viruses are on the rise, infecting adults and children - stomach virus, influenza, and RSV among them.  Recent holiday gatherings may add to that rise over the next week or so.  We ask Hayground families to continue to be extra vigilant about possible exposures.  And as always, please do not send your children to school if they exhibit any symptoms:  cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting, or diarrhea. Please keep them home until they are no longer vomiting and fever-free for 24 hours.  We ask that they either test negative for Covid-19 or your Health Care Practitioner provides written clearance.  Thank you for your support and transparency.  We are grateful that our community works together to avoid spreading illnesses throughout the school.
