Health Reminders
With the flu season upon us, it is important to keep our children healthy. Those who get flu-like symptoms should stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines. Common symptoms of the flu include fever, headache, muscle and body aches, chills, sore throat, fatigue (tired) and dry cough. Children may also have nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Children need enough time to recover at home with rest and fluids. Call your family doctor if you have questions, and follow their advice. Please use your judgement and make sure your child feels well enough to be in school for a full day before they return.
Additional Parent’s Guide for the Flu can be found on the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pdf/freeresources/family/flu-guide-for-parents-2018.pdf
When to keep your child home from school:
-Fever 100 degrees or higher. Children should not come back to school until the temperature is normal for 24 hours without medication.
-vomiting or diarrhea (within the past 24 hours)
-a frequent cough that won’t stop or other problems with breathing
-any rash accompanied by a fever
-sore throat with a fever and/or rash
Mix It Up Day (3rd Grade)
We had a great MIX IT UP DAY with our 3rd grade students.
Mix It Up encourages students to identify, question and cross social boundaries. Schools can host a Mix It Up event on any day of the year! We ask students to move out of their comfort zones and connect with someone new. It’s a simple act with profound implications that we encourage educators to include in year-round efforts to promote healthy, welcoming school environments. Studies have shown that interactions across group lines can help reduce prejudice. When students interact with those who are different from them, biases and misperceptions can fall away.
