In The Know
Research Project Needs your Help - Hi, my name is CJ Pascoe and I’m a sociology professor at the University of Oregon. I’m writing to ask for your help with my current research project entitled “Social and Emotional Relationships in Adolescence.” It focuses on young people’s friendships, families, relationships and high school experiences. The findings from this research will be able to be used to develop recommendations for practices that will improve young people’s friendships, school experiences and relationships. As part of this research I am interviewing parents of teenagers at Churchill High School. The interview usually takes an hour and a half at a location of your choosing. You can see more information about the interview itself here: https://bit.ly/2IqL9hz. If you are interested in being interviewed, feel free to contact me at cpascoe@uoregon.edu or 510-301-1771 (text or voice). Thank you in advance for your help.

About influenza ("flu")
Influenza is a highly contagious, respiratory disease caused by an influenza virus. Influenza season most commonly starts in December and January and peaks in February and March. It is not too late to get an influenza vaccine.
What are the symptoms of influenza?
Symptoms of influenza begin suddenly and include fever, headache, chills, body/muscle aches, extreme tiredness, dry cough, and sore throat. Young children may also have nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Nausea and vomiting alone, often reported as the “stomach flu”, are often caused by other factors and are not influenza.
How is influenza spread?
Influenza is easily spread from person-to-person through the air by coughing or sneezing. Surfaces and hands contaminated with nose, mouth, or throat secretions can also spread influenza viruses. An infected person may spread influenza one day before having symptoms up to seven days after becoming ill.
How is influenza treated?
Antiviral medications are available by prescription that may reduce the length of illness; consult your health care provider. Measures may be taken to help relieve the symptoms, which may include getting enough rest, drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding tobacco and alcohol. Over-the-counter medications, when used as directed, may lessen fever, headache, and muscles aches.
How do you control the spread?
Annual flu vaccines are recommended for all persons 6 months and older, unless you have contraindication to the vaccine. Make sure adults and children wash hands frequently and thoroughly. Use plenty of plain liquid soap and warm water. Teach children to cover their noses and mouths with a tissue or their arm when coughing or sneezing. When using a tissue, dispose into proper wastebasket and wash hands well afterwards. Avoid touching the eyes, mouth, or nose. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces frequently. Stay home during the first days of illness when symptoms are most severe and the infection is most contagious. Staff and children should remain home until they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without medicine.
Sobre influenza ("gripe")
Es posible que su niño haya sido expuesto a la gripe ("la influenza") en la escuela. La gripe es una enfermedad respiratoria demasiado contagiosa causada por un virus de influenza. La temporada de la influenza usualmente inicia en Diciembre y Enero y esta en su tiempo más fuerte en Febrero y Marzo.
¿Cuáles son los síntomas de la gripe?
Los síntomas de la gripe comienzan repentinamente e incluyen la fiebre, dolor de cabeza, escalofríos, dolor en el cuerpo y en los músculos, cansancio agudo, tos reseca y dolor en la garganta. Los niños pequeños también pueden tener nauseas, vómito y diarrea. Las nauseas y el vómito solo, seguido reportado como la “gripe del estómago”, usualmente es causado por otros factores y no son la influenza.
¿Cómo se propaga la gripe (influenza)?
La influenza se pasa fácilmente de persona a persona por medio del aire al toser o estornudar. Las superficies y las manos contaminadas con las secreciones nasales, de la boca o de la garganta también pueden propagar los viruses de la gripe. Una persona infectada puede pasarles la gripe a otros un día antes de mostrar síntomas hasta 7 días después de enfermarse.
¿Cómo se le da tratamiento a la gripe (influenza)?
Hay medicamentos antigripales disponibles por receta que pueden reducir la duración de la enfermedad; consulte con su proveedor de atención a la salud. Las medidas que se puedan tomar para aliviar los síntomas pueden incluir la obtención de descanso, la bebida de muchos líquidos y la abstinencia de tabaco y alcohol. Los medicamentos que se obtienen sin receta, cuando se utilizan de la manera indicada, pueden disminuir la fiebre, el dolor de cabeza y los dolores en los músculos.
¿Cómo se controla la propagación de la gripe?
Los niños entre las edades de 6 meses y los 18 años (y aquellos que tienen contacto con estos individuos) deben recibir la vacuna de la gripe cada año. Los adultos (especialmente los que tienen condiciones médicas y las mujeres embarazadas) también deben recibir una vacuna contra la gripe. Cualquier persona que desea disminuir su riesgo de contraer la gripe debe recibir la vacuna anual de la gripe. Asegure que los adultos y los niños se laven frecuentemente y a fondo las manos. Use bastante jabón de líquido y agua tibia. Enseñe a los niños a cubrirse la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo de papel o con el brazo cuando tosan o estornuden. Cuando usen un pañuelito de papel, deben tirarlo en la basura y lavarse bien las manos después de tirarlo. Evite tocarse los ojos, la boca o la nariz. Evite un contacto cercano con personas enfermas. Limpie y desinfecte las superficies comunes frecuentemente. Quédese en casa durante los primeros días de enfermedad cuando los síntomas son más severos y la infección es más contagiosa. El personal y los niños deben permanecer en casa hasta que no hayan tenido fiebre por lo menos por 24 horas sin medicina.

Kudos
Gene Chism - I appreciate the your efforts on the Beyond Black and White project. The spirit of this project has Churchill adults modeling our vulnerability so that kids will do the same. This helps our school become safer, healthier and an all around better place for our students.
Gene...you rule the school!
Debbie Levy - I really appreciated your presentation regarding Canva. Thank you for doing this with little warning. You are awesome. I thought this was a really cool tool that could be used in classrooms easily for loads of different projects.So quick and easy to use in a pinch or as a quick access tool with groups.
Kim Rolleig - I am thankful for the investment of time and for your leadership on the Health Team Drill. I feel proud to know that we are focusing on how to have better situational awareness and that that we are doing this in collaboration with our Heath Pathway. This is a clear example of what it means to support the Whole Child. We have a clear focus on safety and student health.
Kelly Prince - You're one of the most responsive staff members I have worked with. This was exemplified the other day when I saw you running down the hall with a bag under each arm and your 3 little girls chasing behind you. You seem to always be hustling and it does not go unnoticed. Churchill is blessed to have you on our staff.
