Message from the Clinic
It's January and after a busy holiday season we are all ready to stay healthy and ready to learn! Unfortunately, it's also flu season. Remind your child about the importance of handwashing before eating anything, after using the bathroom, and after sneezing/coughing. Handwashing is the number one defense against infection. The CDC expects an increase in seasonal flu between January and March every year. Check with your family doctor regarding information about flu vaccines.
Remember, to keep all our kids as healthy as possible, children must be fever free for 24 hours off of fever-reducing medication prior to returning to school.
Signs and Symptoms of Flu
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms that usually start suddenly, not gradually:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills, Cough, Sore throat, Runny or stuffy nose, Muscle or body aches, Headaches, Fatigue (very tired)
Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in young children than in adults.
*It’s important to note that not everyone with the flu will have a fever. www.cdc.gov/flu

District of Innovation
As a District of Innovation, a school district’s board of trustees gains greater local control in its decision-making. DOI districts are also better positioned to be innovative and forward-thinking while continuing to comply with the state’s fiscal, instructional, and academic accountability requirements. The DOI Committee met on January 10, 2024, and approved the following plan for posting on the District’s website. Comments about the plan can be submitted for 30 days via the web beginning January 12, 2024. The DOI Committee will review the submitted comments and hold an open meeting on February 14, 2024, after which, if a majority of DOI Committee members approve the plan, the plan will be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval at its February 20, 2024, meeting.
