Important Health Information
GO RED for heart health. Students were invited to wear RED on Feb. 7th to show support for heart healthy living. Anyone that would like to donate for the Carol Cardoza Nurse Scholarship Fund which provides a scholarship for a PTHS senior going into nursing would be appreciated.
The winter has brought a variety of viruses to share. We have had norovirus, flu A, covid, common cold and a virus that presents with headache and then fever. Students have been reminded to wash hands with soap and water, not touch their eyes, nose or mouth with fingers and to block their coughs. Staying home for 24 hours passed a fever of 100.4, vomiting or diarrhea will help prevent the spread to others. Staying hydrated with water, eating foods rich in vitamin C and getting plenty of rest will help reduce susceptibility to any germs. Let's hope that February is a better month to be healthy!
Please continue to report symptoms when calling out your child sick. It is helpful to know what illnesses are in the building.
