Health Update
Notes From the Nurse:
Fall/Winter is here, and, unfortunately, so is the season of colds and flu. In order to prevent the spread of these illnesses, please follow these guidelines:
- Notify school nurse of any communicable diseases such as strep, conjunctivitis, impetigo, etc.
- Remind your children to practice good hand washing before and after meals and after using the bathroom.
- Children should remain at home until the following have been absent for 24 hours:
- T >100
- Yellow or green drainage from nose, ears and eyes
- Productive cough
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- If your child receives an antibiotic, he/she should be on the antibiotics for 24 hours prior to returning to school.
Remind your children of the importance of eating and drinking properly; and getting plenty of sleep.
Thank you for following the above guidelines. Let’s hope for a healthy remainder of the school year.
To Good Health,
Michelle
