Dear Families,
We have come to the time of year to expect cold and flu symptoms. Some of these are unavoidable but there are several things you can do at home to help prevent illness and keep everyone feeling healthy. Here are some tips to remember:
Please wash all coats, backpacks and lunch boxes. If you are unable to wash it in the washing machine, please use a disinfectant on it.
If your child brings a water bottle to school, please have them take it home daily to be washed or bring a new one each day.
Please remind your child to cover coughs and sneezes with their elbow or a tissue and them wash their hand or use hand sanitizer.
WASH, WASH, WASH YOUR HANDS! This is still the best defense against illness. Encourage your children to wash, especially before meals, using soap and warm water. To ensure they are taking enough time to adequately kill germs, have them sing the ABC song while scrubbing.
Unfortunately, even with the best care, a virus can make us sick. Cold symptoms are best relieved with rest and fluids and may last as long as 10 days. If symptoms persist longer than this, the child should see a physician. Please keep in mind the guidelines below when deciding if your child should come to school.
Any child with the following symptoms should stay home:
-A fever 100 degrees or higher. A child should not come back to school until the temperature is normal for 24 hours without medication.
-vomiting or diarrhea
-a frequent cough
-any rash accompanied by a fever
-ear pain and/or eye drainage
-sore throat with a fever and/or rash
Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy and at their best.
