Seasons Changing
As you give that last hug and kiss to your child before they leave for school, I encourage you to make sure they are dressed appropriately for the weather. Unless it is raining, most likely recess and gym class will be outside. Please, make sure they have a warm jacket, hat, and gloves if necessary. PLEASE LABEL HATS AND GLOVES
Cold and flu season are upon us so, I want to remind you that germs are spread very easily by coughing and sneezing.
- Always cough into your elbow or tissue and then wash your hands.
- Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes.
- Remember to wash your hands before you eat.
- Eat a well-balanced diet.
- Get plenty of sleep.
These are all VERY important to keep us, and our children, healthy.
As always, if your child has flu-like systems or diarrhea, vomiting or fever I ask that you keep your child home. Your child must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
