Illness etiquette
In addition to COVID, there are many other respiratory illnesses that are already circulating at higher levels this year: Influenza, RSV, etc. As we enter cold/flu season, please do a thorough symptom screening each day and keep your student home if needed. Please also remind them of the importance of frequent hand hygiene, cough/sneezing etiquette, and encourage them to wear a mask to limit the spread of all respiratory illnesses to others.
Personal hygiene
The social pressures for adolescents are great, and bodily changes can be a source of anxiety for some. Growing adolescents have an increased need for attention to personal hygiene: regular bathing, washing and wearing clean clothes, wearing deodorant, etc. In an effort to stay healthy and avoid uncomfortable social interactions, please discuss the importance of personal hygiene with your student. See the attached website for more information related to adolescent hygiene needs: Hygiene Basics (for Teens) - Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (XML) (kidshealth.org).

If you are picking up a sibling at Churchill School please adhere to the dismissal rules:
- You may wait in the designated area (Center sidewalk) and not on the playground
- Please wait quietly and use appropriate language
- If addressed by a staff member, please listen and follow their direction
- If you are not picking up a sibling, please help create a safer experience by removing yourself from this busy time.
