Flu/Cold Season
Flu/Cold Season
The cold and flu season is still with us and has hit several of our students. The flu can be especially dangerous for children and we want to make sure everyone is safe and stays as healthy as possible.
We recommend parents to encourage your Mustang(s) to follow these simple health habits:
- If you're sick/have symptoms (including a fever), stay home. This will limit the spread of illness and can limit the severity/length of illness. Make sure to bring doctor's note for any doctor's visits.
- Wash your hands regularly. Soap and warm water are the best methods, but even using hand sanitizer regularly can prevent the spread of bad germs.
- Cover your mouth/nose when sneezing/coughing. This is the way in which germs are spread through the air and proper technique such as using the inside of your elbow instead of your hands keeps them clean. If you do use your hands or blow your nose, make sure to wash them immediately or at least use sanitizer before touching anything.
