January 6-10, 2024 - Eagle Eye News

Happy New Year DCS! We are looking forward to all that God has in store for this year. We pray your Christmas break was restful and rejuvenating and you are all ready to join us as we move forward into 2025 with purpose and intentionality! Here is the Eagle Eye for a look at this week’s activities as well as important upcoming dates.

There is still a high number of stomach and respiratory illnesses across the state. As a result, we want to remind all families of our sick student protocol. Feel free to call our school nurse, Jessi, in the school office with any questions. 

  • Vomiting/Diarrhea: Stay home at least 24 hours after last episode of vomiting or diarrhea. 

  • Fever (temp over 100.4): Stay home until student is 24 hours fever free without medication 

  • Coughs: if a student has a persistent cough requiring constant cough drops or water, it is best to stay home until student can stay in class comfortably. 

  • Students should not self-medicate during the school day. If a student requires cough/cold medicine midday, please have them stay home. 

Looking for volunteer opportunities? Please consider joining the hot lunch crew or becoming a parent aide volunteer for teachers and staff. If interested, please contact Heidi Hale at heidi.hale@damascuscc.org for more information.
