Backpack Express--January 29, 2020

In a previous Backpack Express and a separate email, Mrs. Flores has communicated with parents about various illnesses in our school and community.  As mentioned, there are cases of flu, strep throat, and influenza like illnesses. Please read this communication from Mrs. Flores as an update and how you can help our students and us curb the spreading of the illnesses.
