We are hoping these days off will help stop the cycle of the flu, strep throat and a high-fever virus….however, please keep your child home and see a doctor if they complain of not feeling well.  

Also, if your child is going to be ABSENT (for any reason), please email Colleen Manke (cmanke@ridgewood.k12.nj.us) or  call the Health Office absence linewith a reason – that helps us keep track of illnesses.  201-670-2740x1
