Principal's Message

Ida Families,

With the recent closure of Valley View due to identified cases of the Measles, we are committed to making sure Ida Nason Aronica is not in the same situation. As a school, we are preparing proof of immunizations for all staff and taking other recommended steps.

It would be important for families to continue to keep students home who are sick. Our school nurse is able to assist families if they have questions.

Other news: Our school nurse, Sally Karam has retired. Her last day with this Friday, May 24. The position will be filled the rest of the year by Lorrie Howard. We will miss Ms Sally, but wish her a happy retirement!

Please free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Mrs. Burfeind
