A Note from Nurse Hensley
Just a reminder from the nurse's office that we have entered cold and flu season. Getting an annual flu shot and Covid booster are the best way to reduce your risk of getting sick. Also remember to stay home if you are sick or have had fever within 24 hours. It can be hard to know the difference between a cold and something more serious so when in doubt get tested. If we all do our part we can protect each other and reduce the number of illnesses school wide.
