Charger PowerPaks (weekend food bags) will be distributed every Saturday throughout the remainder of the shutdown period beginning April 4.  PowerPaks will be available to any West Noble student in need of weekend food.  Food can be picked up at three sites: WN Primary from 10-11:00 am, Eagle's Nest from 11:15 am - 12:00 pm and Stone Ridge Estates from 12:15-1:00 pm.  A truck will be parked at the parking lot of WNP, the main building at the front of Eagle's Nest and the old Marathon parking lot of Stone Ridge Estates.  PowerPaks are distributed through New Community Initiatives, not West Noble Schools, and will be given on a first come first serve basis.

Good afternoon to all of our Charger Families. This has been an unsettling week for us all.

Due to the unstable nature of current events, all of our previously scheduled school events have been postponed. At the time of our return, we will reschedule as many of our events as we can.

Each Monday we will release a newsletter containing activities and academic challenges for our students. Be sure to check Google Classroom for additional postings from your student's teachers.

As we continue to make our way through the cold and flu season and now face the uncertainty of Covid-19, it is good to remember four basic measures to stay healthy: 

1. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly.  Good handwashing requires soap and water, lasts at least 20 seconds, and covers every surface of your hands.
2. Cough or sneeze into your elbow.  Not into your hand.  Not into the air.
3. Keep your hands away from your face.  Germs enter through your mouth, nose, and eyes.
4. Stay home if you have symptoms of illness.  Students should not return to school after illness until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication.  This will be strictly enforced by our nurses.
