Allendale County School District prioritizes the safety of our students. Lysol wipes were donated by Bamberg County Schools and will be sent home with each student to prevent the spread of germs. As we enter Flu Season, here are some important tips to follow:
-Make sure that all of your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date, especially the flu shot.
-Teach your child to wash their hands properly by using warm water and soap for 15 to 20 seconds.
-Prevent your child from spreading their germs by keeping them home from school and other activities when they are sick.
-Sanitize your home and other shared surfaces regularly with a good disinfectant at least once a week during flu season.
Last night's match against Bethune-Bowman ended with a final score of 54-24.
Parents and Guardians, it is important that your child(ren) attend school to avoid truancy. Please take a moment to review this flyer to learn about truancy and how to avoid it.
