It has been an exciting first week for our Barton Tigers! I’m looking forward to partnering with staff and families to promote optimal health and wellness throughout our school community.
This week, the health office has focused on the importance of handwashing. Alongside our staff, I have encouraged students to wash their hands:
- After using the bathroom
- Before and after eating
- After touching their eyes, nose, or mouth
- Whenever their hands are visibly dirty
Students have been doing a wonderful job following these expectations! To help reinforce these habits, I kindly ask that families continue to encourage proper hand hygiene at home. Your support will go a long way in helping us maintain a healthy school environment.
A quick reminder: The supply of spare clothing in the health office is limited. We ask that parents please send a full change of clothes in their child’s backpack in case of accidents or unexpected spills. This will be especially helpful as we transition into the cooler, wetter seasons.
Thank you for your continued support!
Warm regards,
Cessilee Franks
