Our first tournament match in the Northeast Kingdom. Colebrook vs. Canaan. Both teams did great. We had snacks, prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and the over all winner had bragging rights. Walter on The Knights of the Roundtable (Canaan's team) won 2nd place with points but Colebrook won the whole tournament with winning points. Congrats Colebrook! Till we meet again. The next tournament we would like to open it to other schools and areas around the Northeast Kingdom. Thank you all who participated in the first ever NEK Tournament.

Parents and guardians of students, we would like you to know that if you signed up for the backpack program and your student will not be in school, you will need to pick up the food bags today at 3:00 pm in the MPR at the Elementary building. Thank you.
We are seeing increased numbers of absences due to illness.
Just a few reminders:
Stay home with fever greater than 100.5.
Stay home until you have been fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medicine.
Stay home with vomiting or diarrhea until you have been free for 24 hours.
Stay home with body aches and fatigue that is significant enough that it interferes with the ability to do daily tasks.
Stay home with constant, uncontrollable coughing.
Also wanted to share that we do have confirmed Influenza A in our school community. Attached is some information about Influenza A.

Dear Parents, Caregivers, and our Staff:
As part of a new law, all schools that were constructed or renovated before 1980 are required to test for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in indoor air and address any issues when PCBs are found at or above the school action level. The intent of the law is to protect students and staff from the possible health effects of exposure to PCBs in the indoor air of schools.
The health and safety of the children in our care and of our employees is our priority, and we are working quickly to check our school for PCBs.
The indoor air at Canaan will be tested for PCBs during Jan 8th - 11th. We will work with an environmental consultant to collect samples of indoor air that will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. It can take up to four weeks for the samples to be processed at the laboratory, sent to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and reviewed by the Health Department.
What are PCBs?
PCBs are a group of human-made chemicals that were commonly used in building materials and electrical equipment before 1980. Lighting ballasts in older fluorescent lighting fixtures and caulk are the common sources of PCBs in school buildings.
Why are PCBs a concern?
PCBs can cause serious health problems. The potential for health effects from PCBs, as with other chemicals, depends on how much, how often, and how long someone is exposed to them.
Numerous studies in both humans and animals have shown that exposure to PCBs can affect the nervous, immune, reproductive and endocrine (hormone) systems. PCBs are also classified as probable human carcinogens. This means that exposure to PCBs can likely cause cancer in humans.
How are students and staff exposed to PCBs in a school building?
PCBs can be released into indoor air from building materials that contain PCBs. Students and staff may be exposed to PCBs by:
Breathing in dust or vapors that contain PCBs.
Getting dust containing PCBs on their hands and then swallowing it while eating or drinking.
Skin contact with materials that contain PCBs.
What will happen if there are PCBs in the air of our school?
If levels of PCBs are below the school action level in all rooms tested, then changes in occupancy are not needed.
If levels of PCBs are at or above the school action level, then sources of PCBs are likely present. The State will work with school administrators to investigate and provide recommendations on how to reduce exposure.
We want PCB levels in indoor air to be as low as possible. Testing, identifying, removing, and mitigating sources of PCBs, as well as reducing the time spent in some rooms, are ways we can lower the levels of PCBs in the indoor air of our school.
How will I be notified of the results?
The results will be posted online within seven days after we receive the results from DEC and recommendations from the Health Department. We will also send you a letter that lists the results.
Where can I find more information?
