Dear Mustang Families,
We have noticed an increase in student absences due to illness. To help keep our school community healthy, please remind your children to practice good hygiene habits, including:
· Washing hands frequently with soap and water.
· Avoiding touching their eyes, nose, and mouth.
· Covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or their elbow.
· Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
· Keeping indoor spaces well-ventilated.
When students are healthy and at school every day, they have more opportunities to learn, participate, and enjoy everything Mayall Academy has to offer!
The week of October 19 will be filled with exciting activities at Mayall Academy. Please see the upcoming events below.
