    Mom takes forever to pickup

    When you're sending a sick kid home and mom is taking FOREVER to pick them up... Do you let them hangout in the Health Office or do you send them back to class. Whats the average wait time for you?

    Screening incentives for MS and HS

    UPDATE: I'm starting think if its a good idea to give these kids incentives. I'm afraid that they will do something with chapstick or squishy things and may cause drama between me and the teachers. What do you think?
