W.F. Burns Middle School -

Parents/Guardians,

There will be no golf practice today or tomorrow, 1/22 and 1/23

There is a mandatory parent meeting on Thursday, January 22 at 6:30 in the VHS Lunchroom for everyone that signed up to tryout for cheer and mascot. This meeting is required for at least one parent or guardian to attend in order to be eligible to tryout.

Parents/Guardians: We’re seeing an increase in flu and COVID-19 cases. Please monitor your child for symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, congestion, or fatigue. If your child is sick or showing symptoms, keep them home until they have been symptom-free for 24 hours without using medications to reduce or mask symptoms.

Note: Any parent notes used to excuse illness during January will NOT count toward the four allowed parent notes for the 2nd semester.

Thank you for helping keep our schools healthy!

Congratulations to our WFB Spelling Bee Winner, Harper Crowder and Runner Up, Haley Hall! We are super proud of you both!

We are closely monitoring the forecast for a potential winter storm impacting Chambers County this weekend. If closures are necessary, we will notify families by phone and text.

As flu season intensifies, it's important to take extra steps to protect our children from both the flu and COVID-19. Here are some simple ways to keep them healthy:

🧼 Hand Hygiene: Remind kids to wash hands frequently, especially after eating, playing, or using the restroom.

🤧 Stay Home When Sick: If your child has symptoms like fever, cough, or fatigue, please keep them home to prevent spreading illness.

💪 Boost Immune Health: Ensure your kids get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and stay active to strengthen their immune systems.

Let’s work together to keep our school community safe and healthy this season! ❤️
