Message from the Principal |
Wow! Michigan showed its true colors with the weather changes this week!
As the weather continues to get colder and snow is on the way, please make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for outdoor play. Students go outside for recess whenever possible, and we want everyone to stay warm and comfortable!
Please send your child with a warm coat, hat, gloves or mittens, boots, and snow pants each day. Having the right gear allows all students to enjoy their time outside safely, even in snowy or chilly conditions.

Important Message from the School Nurse |
|
|
We are seeing an increased number of cases of head lice in our buildings as well as across the Southwest Michigan area. With the number of cases increasing, please check your child’s hair frequently for nits and live bugs. If your child is found to have head lice, please begin treatment immediately. Head lice treatment is very time consuming and can be expensive, but if the head lice and all of the nits are not removed from the hair as well as anything that comes in contact with the hair the cycle will start over in your home.
There are resources for head lice treatment in the main office if you need assistance. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at 269-782-4420 ext. 1218 or sdorman@dowagiacschools.org.

Please make sure to call the office and let us know when your student is going to be absent or the school will be calling you. When a student returns to school after any period of absence, please send a note stating the reason for the absences.
*If your student(s) is running late, please bring them to the office and sign them in.
