A Message from the Principal - Hi Roosevelt-McGrath Families,
Important information regarding winter weather:
As you know we are experiencing the beginning of winter weather. We know that winter weather can take a toll on school attendance. Snow, ice and rain can make it hard to get children to school. So can illnesses such as colds, flu, fevers, earaches, etc. Here is some information to help keep your children healthy and in school this winter.
Develop backup plans for getting your children to school. Can someone give them a ride to school if your child usually walks or stands at a bus stop?
Dress for the weather. Even a short walk in frigid weather can be dangerous. Ensure your child has a warm coat, gloves, hats and boots. Elementary students go out for recess if the temperatures, including wind chill, are above 20°. Please remind children that a hoodie is not an outdoor coat.
Resources are available. If you need help with winter clothing, please contact us for confidential assistance: 734-419-2720
Sick children should stay home. School attendance is important, but sick children should not be at school. Timely reporting of absences helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that your child's absence is properly documented. Absences must be reported within 24 hours. Thank you in advance for calling the attendance line for any absence: 734-419-2727.
Also, if your child becomes ill during the school day, have a backup plan for who can pick them up if you are unavailable.
If your children need to stay home for a prolonged period due to illness, talk to your child's teacher to find out about resources and class assignments they can do at home to keep learning once they feel well enough. Thank you in advance for calling the attendance line for any absence: 734-419-2727.
What about snow days? Information about our inclement weather procedures can be found on our website.
