Flu Season Notice
Dear Parents,
It is flu season, and FAME Academy at Brookhill is experiencing a higher than normal rate of absences due to illness. We need your help to keep our students healthy. The flu is highly contagious. During this season of sickness, we strongly urge you to take these additional precautions to keep students well and avoid illness:
Pay close attention for symptoms: fever, chills and shakes with fever, headache, body aches or pains, extreme tiredness/fatigue, dry/hacking cough, sore throat, vomiting and belly pain.
If your child has a fever of 100F or higher, do not send your child to school.
Your child must be fever, vomit, and symptom free for at least 24 hours (without the use of fever reducing medications like Tylenol or Motrin) before returning to school.
Insist upon hand washing, and wash hands all the time.
Use Clorox and Lysol disinfectant spray everywhere: the bottoms of shoes, doorknobs, school supplies, and phones.
Wash your child's backpack and clothing.
Wipe down everything.
Be vigilant!
ACS Illness Guidelines are available for your reference as well. The wellness of our students is very important to us. Thank you for your cooperation in partnering with us to keep our BES family healthy!
Sincerely,
Mr. Jeff Mathheus, Principal
