44 Years Ago in Cadet History… We’re going back to the 1980-1981 school year, where the yearbook theme was 'Roads Thru Time.' 🕘 Lots of great memories looking back down these roads! 🛣️ #throwbackthursday #cadetpride⚔️

Feeling blue never tasted so sweet! 💙🍬 #cadetpride⚔️

4th Grade had an unbe-leaf-able time today at the park! 🍂 #cadetpride⚔️

This past week we have noticed an increase in respiratory illnesses that have developed into pneumonia in some cases. After reaching out to our local hospital and health departments I am sending out this informative email on things to look for. Please note that WPPS is implementing additional disinfecting practices to assist in diminishing the potential for further transmission. We would like to encourage everyone to practice good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. If you or your loved one has signs or symptoms of pneumonia, it is recommended for you to see your provider. An antibiotic may or may not be needed. Take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them. Precautions that can be taken to protect others from respiratory illness include taking steps for cleaner air and hygiene practices like cleaning frequently touched surfaces. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wearing a mask is an additional prevention strategy that you can choose to further protect yourself and others. When worn by a person with an infection, masks reduce the spread of the illness to others. Masks can also protect wearers from breathing in infectious particles from people around them. Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way. You can improve air quality by bringing in fresh outside air, purifying indoor air, or gathering outdoors. Signs and Symptoms of Pneumonia Fever/Chills Cough Shortness of breath Chest pain when you breathe or cough
