Updates from School Nurse Mrs. Travis
Happy March! I am so glad that spring is just around the corner and I bet you all are too! March 14th -20th is National Sleep Awareness Week for 2021. Sleep is so important for our health but is often overlooked or underrated. Want a chance to earn some PBIS points? Go to this link https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/how-much-sleep.html, read it over, and name two ways you can help yourself get more sleep. You can submit your answer on its learning in advisory. Go to resources, CSA Cares Kit, Nurses office; click the link contact the nurse and fill out my form. You can also stop by the health office and tell me.
Everyone is still doing an excellent job of staying home when you are sick. Thank you! Keep up the great work of taking care of us by staying home when sick and having your parent or guardian call the office. Keep wearing those masks correctly, washing hands often, and physically distancing whenever possible. You ALL are AMAZING!
Take Care!
Mrs. Travis
