Principal Update 10/26/15
It’s that time of year!
As always, our health emphasis is always on prevention! We know that the single most effective way to prevent the spread of viruses is by washing your hands!
Please encourage your children to wash their hands before they eat and especially after using the bathroom. Hand sanitizer has also been shown to significantly reduce the number of infections in school children when used in combination with hand washing. Another easy prevention measure is to not share drinking or eating utensils! Practicing these two simple measures may keep you and your children healthier during the year and also lead to healthy hygiene habits.
One of the many issues confronting parents today occurs when a child complains of not feeling well. Should the child stay at home or go to school?
Please do not send your child to school and ask the school nurse or teacher to make a decision as to whether he/she should stay at home or attend school. As a parent, you know your child and the situation better than anyone. If your child does not have any symptoms they need to be in school. Please call us to discuss the symptoms and/ or to let us know that your child is ill.
“A child must be healthy to learn, and must learn to be healthy!”
