A Message from Nurse Abby.....
What a muddy week!
If your child came home in clothes from the clinic, please wash and return on Monday. I have almost given out all my clothes. Thank you for your cooperation.
Have you been thinking “When is it ok for my child to return to school after an illness?” Our WISD policy is that a student must be fever (100.0 or above), vomit and diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of suppressing medications before returning to school.
Please remember to send a refillable water bottle to school with your child, and don’t forget your flu shot!
Stay Healthy,
Nurse Abby
