Hello parents. This is Mrs. Waters with some important health information. As a reminder, students who are sick must be symptom-free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school. We are seeing lots of sick students in the office some of whom never make it to class in the morning before getting sick. Please help us keep all our Gators healthy as we move into the holiday season by following this guideline. Please call the school if you have specific questions or concerns. Thank you.
