A Note From the Nurse
Dear Parents,
As you are aware, we are in flu season and want to be proactive in preventing the spread of disease among our precious students.
SIMPLE STEPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD HEALTHY:
· Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds
· Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing-preferably into the inside of the elbow or with a tissue and disposing of the tissue immediately into the trash
· Avoid sharing drinks, water bottles, eating utensils and cell phones
· Avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth
· Help prevent the flu from spreading at home by disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, toys, and other commonly shared items
· Prevent spreading illness to others by keeping your sick children home from school until they have been without fever or symptoms for 24 hours without the use of medication
· It is important for your sick child to get rest and drink plenty of fluids.
· If your student is showing any signs or symptoms of illness, please keep them at home
If you need your child to take any type of medication while they are at school, please complete the Request to Administer Medication Form . This includes prescriptions, over the counter medicine and even cough drops.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
