4th Grade Instrument Quest
June 4th, 2019
4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Covington Multi
 
In preparation for choosing a musical instrument to play in 5th grade, the LASD Music Department will host an instrument selection event called “Instrument Quest” for all 4th grade students in the district. Your child will be able to try out every instrument we offer in our Band and Orchestra (flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, viola, cello).
 
This is a great opportunity to see which instrument best suits your child. Parents are welcome to ask questions and to meet the LASD Music teachers.

________________________________________________________________

When your child is absent; we appreciate you calling the attendance line OR filling out the online form. These are the preferred methods for documentation purposes. The District Nurses are asking all parents in the district to not call your students in "sick". Please be specific when leaving either message to why your student is not at school. The District Nurses are tracking our extended flu season and are requesting specific symptoms-fever, cold, vomiting, sore throat, rash, etc.  Please be very specific with students symptoms. We may need to do a super clean in a classroom or around campus because of illnesses-- so they do not spread. Also, it was a rule to keep a child home for 24 hours without medication or symptoms. The District Nurses have increased the time to 48 hours to keep your student home. We are seeing way too many students coming back too early from their illness.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping Gardner  School healthy!

When to Keep Your Child Home From School
Sometimes it is difficult, especially early in the morning, to know whether or not to send your child to school. The following guidelines are indications that you should keep him/her home. In this way, you are helping to control the spread of colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses.
 

Keep your child at home when he/she has any of the following symptoms:
You need to keep your child home until he/she has been symptom free without medication for 48hours. Also, NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY if your child is exposed to or contracts chicken pox, mumps or measles or whooping cough (pertussis). These conditions can be life threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems.
 

The following information is only a guide to common childhood health concerns. Call our District Nurses or personal health care provider for more information. Always bring a copy of a physician’s note to school and/or notify the school if your child will have an extended absence due to a health condition for 10 days or longer.
