From the Nurse: Pertussis (also known as whooping cough) has been on the rise in our state and there have now been confirmed cases in Sioux County. It is an infection that causes a severe cough that can last for weeks or months, sometimes leading to coughing fits and/or vomiting. If you are taking your student to a healthcare provider for pertussis-like symptoms, please mention it to them and let us know if your student tests positive. If you have any questions, please contact school nurse Melinda or Community Health Partners at (712) 737-2971.

Parents & Students: Things to keep in mind for semester :

1. Students don’t have to be here until their exam time.

2. Once here, students cannot leave the building until their exams for the day are done. If they have an exam the first and third exam periods of the day, they cannot leave the building in between testing times.

Exam change forms are on the counter in the office by the phone. Turn into the office or Mr. Holwerda. He will take care of getting teacher signatures. They are due back to the office by Thursday, Dec 12 @ Noon.
