 ATTENTION PARENTS:
 When you are leaving a message with the front office about your son's absence, please be  specific in letting us know why he is absent, and what are his symptoms if he is sick.  We are  trying to track contagious illnesses so we can let families know what to look for, and the office  staff has a difficult time calling each parent back to try and track down the information.  Thank  you for your help.
