Message from the Principal
Most stomach viruses can be passed through contact with an ill person or touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated and then touching your mouth or food. Although these types of viruses are contagious, they are also preventable. Here are some steps that parents and students can take to prevent this virus from spreading:
- If your child has nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, keep your child home from school, social events, and extracurricular activities until the symptoms have passed.
- Let the school nurse know immediately if your child has these symptoms.
- Always use soap and warm water to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds after going to the bathroom, changing a diaper, or cleaning up after an ill child. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand gel.
Proper hand-washing procedures have been reviewed with all students. All bathrooms. along with the clinic are going to be bleached and disinfected again after students leave today. This is in addition to the cleaning and disinfecting they undergo on a daily basis. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call. Thank you for you help and understanding with this important matter.
Mr. Scanapieco
