Happy February! Even though winter is still hanging on, our students are doing an amazing job staying focused and engaged in their learning. Please continue to send students to school with all winter gear so they can enjoy outdoor recess safely. Thank you for helping us keep kids warm, healthy, and ready to learn. |

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. Suzanne Dorman RN, MSN District School Nurse |

The student that I have chosen to be my first grade classroom student of the month is Makena Wegner. Makena is a great example of what it means to be a Chieftain Hero. |

ATTENDANCE:
It is very important that students are in school everyday, but the school realizes that there are some reasons for excused absences. 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. *If you need to pick up your child early for any reason please call the office 269-782-4468.
