Tips from Nurse Lohse
It is that time of year to expect cold and flu symptoms. There are several things you can do at home to help prevent illness and keep everyone feeling healthy, such as:
- WASH, WASH, WASH YOUR HANDS! This is still the best defense against illness. Encourage your children to wash, especially before meals, using soap and warm water. To ensure they are washing long enough to adequately kill germs, have them sing the ABC song while scrubbing.
- Get plenty of rest. School age children should get 9-11 hours of sleep each night. Grownups should try to get 8 hours.
- Drink lots of fluids and eat a balanced diet - especially breakfast! Adequate nutrition helps prevent headaches and stomach aches throughout the day, which can interrupt students' learning time.
- Dress appropriately for cold weather. Please help your child choose warm, comfortable clothing for school each day, including socks. Make sure your student is wearing a coat, snow gear, hat and gloves/mittens. Even in cold weather they need exercise and fresh air during recess.
Any child with the following symptoms should stay home:
- A fever of 100.4 F degrees or higher. A child should not come back to school until the temperature is normal for 24 hours without medication;
- Vomiting and/or diarrhea;
- Frequent cough;
- Rash accompanied by fever;
- Ear pain and/or eye drainage;
- Sore throat with a fever and/or rash.
Please call Nurse Lohse at Ext. 1209 if you have any questions or would like to discuss your child's symptoms or illness. If you have a change in address and/or phone number, please contact the school office immediately. It is very important to be able to reach you in the event your child becomes ill at school. Have a safe and HEALTHY winter!
