The next Board of Education Meeting will be today, Thursday, October 27, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. Board meetings will continue to be streamed live and can be accessed on the website prior to the start of the meeting at www.sbschools.org.

We welcome and invite anyone who would like to make a public comment at any of our Board of Education meetings to please attend the in-person meeting. Although not required, the Board requests that residents who are interested in speaking at a Board meeting register with the Board Secretary's office prior to the meeting by calling (732) 297-7800, extension 3110 or by emailing marcia.garitano@sbschools.org. Residents will be heard during the portion of the meeting designated for public comment.

At this meeting we will be recognizing our 2022-2023 District Calendar Art students.

We are seeing an increase in viral-related illnesses in the past few weeks. Please keep your child home with a fever over 100.2. Children must be fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication in use in order to return to school. If your child has vomiting or diarrhea, we ask you to keep them home for 24 hours from the last episode.

We are trying to mitigate the spread of illness in South Brunswick, and we ask if your child is not feeling well that you keep them home. If you feel they need to be dosed with Tylenol or Motrin prior to coming to school, they should probably stay home for the day to be observed by you.

Mitigation strategies can include frequent hand washing, not sharing foods/snacks, and/or wearing a mask. Also, check with your pediatrician about them receiving an influenza vaccine. Health Care providers are expecting a bigger-than-normal flu season this year and it is also beginning earlier. Wearing a mask and good handwashing can diminish the risk of transmission of viruses.

Together we can stay healthy and safe in our community so our children may continue to stay in school and learn!

If you have any questions, please call your School Nurse.

Thank you,

Scott
