Influenza:
Flu season is upon us and will continue into spring. Peak season is sometimes as late as February. The influenza symptoms are fever, aches, sore throat, cough, headache, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting/diarrhea. It is the perfect time to get a flu shot for yourself and your child. The CDC recommends getting a flu shot by the end of October, but receiving the vaccinate at any point during flu season offers important protection against the virus. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body. The Marion County Health Department has flu shots for $20 for children, but they recommend that you call prior to coming to confirm availability. The south district office is located at 7551 Shelby St. Suite 200 Indianapolis IN 46227, phone number 221-5700. Influenza can be a mild illness for most healthy individuals, but people with health conditions are at increased risk of complications. The quick guidelines are to keep your kids home until they have been fever free for 24 hrs without fever reducing medicine prior to return or vomiting/diarrhea free for 24 hrs prior to return. We recognize a fever as a temp over 100 degrees. So, thank you for following our guidelines and keeping your kids home when they are ill. This protects our kids at school who have conditions that could lead to complications from an illness such as influenza, and this will help your child fully recover and be less likely to have complications themselves. Keep encouraging them to wash their hands. It is the easiest and most effective way to avoid illness.
Vision Referrals:
All of the official vision referral forms were mailed for 1st-5th grades the week before Fall Break. If you have not received a notice and your child is 1st-5th grade, you can assume your child passed the screening. If you have any questions about the testing or returning information after seeing a vision professional, please phone the clinic at 860-4289. If you got a referral notice and your student has glasses but forgot to wear them, please just let me know. I have some resources if cost is keeping your student from an eye exam.
I have included a link from the Community website that includes a very cute hand washing video that you might want to watch with your child.

Car Rider Reminders
- The tardy bell rings at 8:50. Once the bells rings no student will be allowed into the car rider doors. You must drive around the front and sign your student in.
- Please DO NOT pull thru the gate when students are present. We make every effort to open and close the gate on time.
- Thank you for making sure your child is ready to exit the vehicle once you have been given the signal by the back door workers.
- Please remember to have your student load into your vehicle on the driver's side only.
