Not A Moment Too Soon

Dear Parent or Guardian:
      You are receiving this letter because your child has been identified as a contact of someone who has a suspected case of pertussis (whooping cough)....


Dear Parent or Guardian:
      This letter is to inform you that there have been a few confirmed cases of head lice in your child's classroom....


What do you do when these letters come home in your kids' backpacks on Monday?  You scratch your head.  You wonder if your cough is suddenly getting worse.  You scratch your head again.  Then you thank heaven that Christmas Break starts on Tuesday.  At least that's what you do if you are me.

Two weeks off is not going to be long enough...!!

Amen to that! Hopefully everyone will come back to school healthy and refreshed. We got a similar letter and several emails about a chicken pox outbreak here.

Not even close to long enough, but we'll definitely take it (and hope you don't have to deal with whooping cough or head lice during the the break--or anytime).

Merry Christmas!
