ZT Family,
There are a lot of germs going around right now. Please make sure your children are washing their hands when they get home and remind them to do so at school often. Also, remind them to keep their hands away from their face, specifically their mouth and nose. .
We want our Falcons healthy and in school learning!
Thanks,
Mrs. Cravens
