Preventing the Spread of Illness
- Students must stay home when they are acutely ill and feeling poorly.
- Students cannot come to school if they have had a temperature over 100 in the past 24 hours, or if the fever is only being controlled by medicine.
- Students should not come to school if they have been vomiting or are experiencing active diarrhea the night before or in the morning before school.
- Please do not send students to school with any of the listed conditions due to a test or project. They will have plenty of extra time and opportunity to make up tests and work when they are feeling well and able to return to school.
- We showed all students a short video on the importance of handwashing during advisory this week. This is in addition to adding signage near restrooms to remind students to wash their hands. Please help support good handwashing practices and the habit of coughing into the inside of their arms by frequently reminding students to do both of these things.
Thank you for helping keep Hunt a healthy community.
