Lockdown Drill

Form Principal Vaughn:

Today at Frenchtown, all students, faculty, and staff practiced a mock “lockdown” drill.  Throughout our transition into the school year, teachers have discussed student expectations during such drills.  At this time, I am happy to report that the drill went extremely well.  I was absolutely impressed by the professionalism of our faculty and staff, as well as the cooperation of our students.  In the future, we will be practicing more drills like today’s exercise.   The safety and well being of our students is at the heart of all we do here at Frenchtown.  As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Illness Incidence Update from Mrs. Simmons

Important update

To: Frenchtown Families

From: Mrs. Simmons, School Nurse-Teacher

Re: Illness incidence

Date: December 17, 2015

Dear Frenchtown families:

Over the past 48 hours we have experienced a higher than average incidence of gastrointestinal illness and absences. We have been tracking symptoms and communicating with parents about the typical course of illness. Students who have been affected experienced an acute onset of stomach ache and several episodes of vomiting; followed by a fairly rapid return to recovery within hours. Some children also developed fevers. The distribution has not been confined to any particular classroom or grade level. Thank-you for sharing this crucial information and for being mindful of district policies regarding attendance.  

Students should be free of fever and vomiting for at least 24 hours before returning to school. It is common for students to require more additional rest beyond this period, especially if they are still lethargic due to dehydration. 

Please contact me if you are uncertain if your child is “fit for duty”or with any other concerns @ 401-398-1522.
