Unfortunately, while we are looking forward to spring, illness is sticking around. Since the beginning of cold and flu season, we have been monitoring our absence rates, student symptoms and illnesses, and increasing our cleaning. We will continue to do so until warmer weather brings better health. I wanted to share a few reminders about when to keep your student at home and how to try to stay healthy through cold and flu season. As always, please feel free to call your student's school nurse with any questions or concerns.

Good evening. Casey-Westfield schools will be back in session tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28. Road conditions in parts of the rural areas are still not ideal, so our buses will be taking it slower than usual. Expect delays in pick-up and drop-off schedules. Some of you might hear from your drivers yet this evening. Students who drive to school should also plan to leave a little earlier than normal and drive slowly and safely. It will be extra cold in the morning, so please bundle up! Parents, especially those in the rural areas, if you feel that your student cannot make it to school safely on Wednesday, please contact the school and let us know. Your child's absence will be excused. Both buildings will open at 7:30 a.m. for parents who wish to drop off a little early on the way to work. All Early Bird PE Classes are cancelled for Wednesday. Thank you for your continued support of Casey-Westfield schools.
