BEAR Talk

Happy Fall!

How fast these months continue to go by! I hope you are all enjoying the cooler weather and gearing up for this holiday season. Make sure to pay attention to all the classroom announcements as this crazy time of year begins!

I have loved the BEARhavior celebrations around the building. Getting to celebrate all the students who are putting in extra effort to make RES a better place has been so much fun. If you get a chance to come in the building, make sure to take a look at our board on the way to the office and find your student's face!

School-aged children can experience many colds and viruses throughout the school year. Most of the time common colds will not keep your child home from school but there will be times that your child should stay home. Please follow the guidelines below to know when you should keep your child home from school because of illness.

• A fever of 100.0 or higher. They should also be sent home if their temperature is elevated and have symptoms that indicate the onset of an contagious illness such as nausea, a headache, cough and/or sneezing. It is important to remember that your child must be fever-free for 24 hours without Tylenol or any other fever-reducing medications before returning to school.

• Vomiting or diarrhea. These could be signs of a contagious illness and your child should be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Strep throat. Your child must be on antibiotics and fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school after a diagnosis of strep throat from a doctor.

• Contagious skin conditions. Your child will be required to stay home for 24 hours after treatment has been initiated and will need a physician’s written approval to return to school.

• Pink eye. Your child must be on antibiotic eye drops for 24 hours before returning to school

• There are other illnesses that may keep your child home that have not been listed above. Please contact your school nurse if you question whether or not your child should attend school.
