Hello, I am Camryn Reynolds, a senior at RCHS! The Senior Project is in full swing, and students are working diligently on their research and projects. My essential question for my project is, “How can medical professionals improve the public’s trust in medical institutions?” For some background knowledge, I created a survey to analyze our community’s trust in the medical industry. I would greatly appreciate anyone finding time to fill out my questionnaire! It is very short and would require five to seven minutes to complete. The information will be collected anonymously and strictly used for my Senior Project research, so please answer it as truthfully as possible! This data is strictly used for my project and not in any way used by USD 109. Feel free to email me at camryn.reynolds@usd109.org with any questions, comments, or concerns!

It's getting to be that time of year when lots of fun sicknesses start to get shared. It can be difficult to know when to send your kids to school and when to keep them home. Attendance is SO important in academic achievement. Even missing just 2 days a month can cause huge gaps in instruction time. This handout can help you decide if you should keep your child home or send them to school.
