Notes From Nurse G
SLEEP IS IMPORTANT
We have successfully made it through 2 months of school! Early morning routines can be rough for both adults and students. It can be even harder on students, and affect their whole day, when they do not have enough sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation school age children, ages 6-13 should get 9-11 hours of sleep a night. The younger the student, the more sleep they need. This allows their brain and body to rest, helping them to stay healthy and to increase their performance.
COLDS/ALLERGIES
We are coming in to that time of year when colds and allergies start to bother students, or they awake not feeling well, and it’s hard to decide if they are well enough to go to school. On the school nurse page of New Hope’s website, there is a section titled “Is your child too sick for school?” to help you answer those questions. A link to the page is also located here.
COVID
I have received a lot of questions regarding COVID. For our most current county guidelines you may go to https://www.forsyth.k12.ga.us/covid, this website will have the most current information. If your student tests positive for COVID you may email your student’s teacher and myself, gsampson@forsyth.k12.ga.us. Depending on the time of day, I will either call you that same day or the next business day, to discuss when your student may return to school.
As always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
