School-age children are susceptible to various common illnesses.

We encourage you to take a moment to review this Information Letter on Common Illnesses for valuable guidance.

To help prevent these illnesses, please remind your child to practice healthy habits, including:

• Washing hands frequently.

• Staying well-hydrated.

• Avoiding the sharing of personal items, food, or drinks.

• Refraining from touching their eyes.

• Covering their mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter as we work together to keep our students healthy and safe.

A mindful manatee at school shows kindness and care for others. This friendly sea animal pays close attention when friends are talking. The manatee shares supplies invites everyone to join in fun activities, and helps classmates. By being patient and understanding, the manatee makes sure everyone feels happy and included. This caring way of being not only builds strong friendships but also helps create a friendly and supportive school where everyone feels important.
