Suggestions for Acts of KINDNESS
Notes from Nurse Jenski
If your child is experiencing any of the following symptoms, please keep them home
- Cough
- Fever chills
- Runny nose/Congestion
- Sore throat
- Shortness of breath/Difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
- Muscle/Joint/Body aches
- New loss of taste or smell
Any of these symptoms listed may be symptoms of COVID-19. Please contact your health care provider and follow their guidance; they may want to test your child for COVID-19. If your child has the above symptoms, they will need to follow one the the 3 options below
- - Follow a 10-day isolation from the onset of symptoms
- - Obtain a negative COVID-19 test and provide the copy to the school nurse
- - Obtain a note from their health care provider stating that the symptoms they have are related to another illness and NOT COVID-19
There are certain criteria that must be met before your child can come back to school after having any of these symptoms. Please contact Nurse Dana at 907-761-4103 or dana.jenski@matsuk12.us to discuss the plan for returning to school. This is a very different year, normally many of these symptoms would not be worrisome. To be able to keep our doors open to in-person learning we must follow our district policies and the Alaska Smart Start 2020 Return To School Options.
Virtue of the Week
The virtue of the week is KINDNESS. Each week classes will select a student of the week who has demonstrated the week's virtue. Those students will be part of the morning show on Fridays.
Kindness is showing you care, doing some good to make life better for others. Be thoughtful about people's needs. Show love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs your help. When you are tempted to be cruel, to criticize or tease, decide to be kind instead
