With less than one month until the end of our Annual Fund Drive, we are humbled and encouraged by the support from our community.
If you have not yet had a chance to donate, there is still time! Each $10, $100, and $1,000 donation brings us one step closer to helping Embers grow.

Cold Season Notification
As we enter “cold season,” we ask parents to follow these guidelines when deciding whether to keep a child home from school due to illness:
- The child should be fever free for at least 24 hours without medicine before returning to school. A fever is classified as a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher.
- The child should be free of intestinal upsets – vomiting or diarrhea – for at least 24 hours.
- If prescribed an antibiotic, the child should be on antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school.
If a student becomes ill during the school day, the Office will call a parent to determine whether it is necessary for the student to be picked up. Students who are ill should remain at home until they are fully recovered.
