EDS REMINDERS

Dear Parents,

As you know, the flu is spread easily from person to person and school-age children are among the groups most affected. We want to keep our students, teachers and staff healthy and prevent large numbers of students getting sick. We need your help to do this.

Here are a few things you can do:

Know the signs and symptoms of the flu: fever (100°F­ or 37.8°C­), cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired. Some people may also vomit or have diarrhea.

A sick student may only return to school after 24 hours with no fever (normal= 98.6°F or 37°C) and without the use of fever-reducing medications. Please provide a doctor’s release if your child was diagnosed with the flu.

Keeping your sick child home is the responsible thing to do. Staying home when sick allows your children to rest and allows you to monitor their health closely. It protects fellow students and school staff, especially those who are at higher risk of severe illness from the flu.

If you have any questions, please call the office.

Sincerely,

EDS Administration
