Common illnesses like colds, flu and strep are here to stay.Do your part in reducing the spread by keeping your student home when ill, frequent handwashing, and covering nose/mouth when coughing/sneezing. If you have any questions about whether your child should be at school, please call your school's nurse.

Nurse Amy and Nurse Jessie spent this week educating Peterstown Elementary Students all about germs and how they can do their part to reduce the spread of illnesses! Thank you boys and girls for being great listeners!

We would like to give a shout out to our school counseling staff. Pictured from top to bottom Kelly Ellison (Social Worker), Gabby Pyles and Cat Thomas (School Counselors).
