Happy New Year!
We hope that all of you have enjoyed your Christmas holidays and the start of the new year. We will start back to school tomorrow--weather-permitting! Just a reminder that our school closure for bad weather is determined by SCCPS:
Just to repeat...
As you know we had a lot of illnesses hit the preschool in December! Please make sure that we have a contact number where we can always reach someone to come and get your child if he/she isn't feeling well. We did have one confirmed case of mononucleosis at WIPP and I know there were several other cases at local schools. (See below for a little bit of information from the internet.) Symptoms may mimic strep, so if your child hasn't been feeling well, has a sore throat but tests negative for strep, you might want to mention this to your pediatrician.
Once we start back to school, we'll begin registration for next year--and then spring will be upon us before we know it! Below are some of the dates that you'll want to add to your calendar for the rest of the school year!

- If SCCPS is closed or 2 hours late, WIPP is closed.
- If SCCPs is 1 hour late, we will begin carpool at 9:50 and class at 10:05.

(From www.healthychildren.org ) Many infants and young children have no symptoms or only very mild ones. When there are signs and symptoms of mononucleosis, they usually include the following:
Fever
Sore throat, including white patches in the back of the throat
Swollen lymph glands in the back of the neck, groin, and armpit
Fatigue
