News from the Nurse
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to thank you for keeping your student(s) home when they are ill and following up with a COVID test upon return to school. I know this can be inconvenient for parents, but it is vital to keeping our school open for all to learn this academic year.
I would like to mention that not all masks are the same. Children with smaller faces require a well-fitted mask that covers both their nose and mouth. A mask that does not fit properly over both, does not protect others who are in close contact with that person. Please make sure your student(s) is wearing a mask that isn’t too big.
Also, I would like to encourage everyone to get the flu vaccine. Flu vaccines help to reduce the risk of flu illness. In addition, getting a flu vaccine can save healthcare resources for the care of others with COVID 19.
In an effort to get as many students and families immunized for flu this year, Ptarmigan Pediatrics is offering flu shot clinics on Thursday evenings through October. Please see the flyer below.
Other Vaccine Options:
Carrs Pharmacy in Palmer: 6yo and older
Carrs Pharmacy in Wasilla: 5yo and older
Fred Meyer Pharmacy in Palmer and Wasilla: 7yo and older
Target CVS Pharmacy in Wasilla: 9yo and older
Walgreens Pharmacy in Wasilla: 7yr and older, except 3yrs and older for Flu vaccine
Walmart Pharmacy in Wasilla: 8yrs and older
Thank you again parents for helping to keep our school COVID free!
Nurse Suzanne Chapelle BSN, RN, NCSN
