MVLA PARENT EDUCATION SPEAKER SERIES William Deresiewicz will give his perspective on how college should be a time for self-discovery, when young people can establish their own values and measures of success in order to forge their own path. Based on his experiences teaching at Yale and Columbia, Bill believes that as colleges shift focus from the liberal arts to narrowly “practical” subjects such as economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think critically and creatively. Bill is an award-winning essayist and critic, and the best-selling author of Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life. He taught English at Yale for ten years and at Columbia for five.

Health Services Staff When to Keep Your Child Home From School Sometimes it is difficult, especially early in the morning, to know whether or not to send your child to school. The following guidelines are indications that you should keep him/her home. In this way, you are helping to control the spread of colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses. Keep your child at home when he/she has any of the following symptoms: • Fever of 99.6 or higher • Vomiting or Diarrhea • Sore throat or trouble swallowing • Rash or unusual sores or spots • Generalized muscle aches and pains • Unusually red, crusted or burning eyes • Chills • Nausea • Coughing, sneezing, and/or runny nose • Headache • Wheezing or trouble breathing • Head Lice
You need to keep your child home until he/she has been symptom free without medication for 24 hours. Also, NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY if your child is exposed to or contracts chicken pox, mumps or measles or whooping cough (pertussis). These conditions can be life threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems. For more information go to LASD website links: Sick child or Flu information |
