————- GENERAL ————-
A Little Reminder from the Parent/Student Handbook about Keeping Sick Children Home:
Colds: Please keep your child at home if he has a fever over 100 degrees or is experiencing discomfort that would interfere with his ability to perform in school (i.e. uncontrollable coughing, severe lack of energy). Conjunctivitis (pink-eye): Follow your doctor’s advice for returning to school.
Diarrhea/Vomiting: A child with diarrhea and/or vomiting should stay at home and return to school only after being symptom-free for 24 hours.
Fever: The child should remain at home with a fever greater than 100 degrees. The child can return to school after he has been fever free for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Motrin).

What & Why #1
from the Superintendent
(a place to review the basics)
Over the past two years, our staff has been reviewing, memorizing, and relearning the foundation of who we are as a school and what our mission is. Below you will see the core of why we exist and what we are trying to accomplish at Logos School:
Purpose (Why do we exist?): Our purpose is to serve parents as they bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Mission (What are we trying to accomplish?): Our mission at Logos School is to provide a classical and Christ-centered education in order to graduate young men and women who are equipped to shape culture through wise and victorious Christian living.
We are continually comparing our work to these two plumblines and making changes to better align the way that we serve our parents. One simple example can be found in next year’s calendar. Many fathers have Labor Day and Presidents’ Day off. We have decided to take these days off from school so that families can spend more time together. We believe that more time with Dad furthers the purpose and mission of our school, and we are excited for the change. If you have any ideas on how we can improve in these areas, please let me know. This is the heart of what we are about.
Thank you for the privilege of serving your families,
Matt Whitling
Logos School Superintendent
