The April trip is known as “going to ICDC," where scholarships, prize money and networking with 12,000+ of the best marketing students in the United States takes place. It takes 120+ non-teaching adults to make Area 1 CDC to be the best it can be. Your role will simply be to help evaluate the student role-plays, student presentations, help with registration, or chaperone the students. Your presence will also bring a level of adult professionalism into the lives of the students.
Area 1 CDC will be held at Lake Stevens High School on Saturday, January 6. The conference will have 800+ students who will participate in 30+ marketing events. The top five marketers in each event will be invited to Washington DECA’s State Career Development Conference in March which will be held in Bellevue. To make this a great experience for these young marketing leaders, your help during Area 1 CDC is needed!

Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD)
We have been made aware of a number of cases of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in our community among people of all ages. Below is some informational material from the Snohomish County Health Department. If you believe your child has HFMD, please contact your health care provider. Please notify your child's school nurse if a diagnosis of HFMD is made.
- What is hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD)? HFMD is a common viral illness among infants and children younger than 5 years of age but may also occur in older children and adults. It is most common in the summer and fall. Although the name of this illness may sound scary, HFMD is generally a mild illness caused by a different virus.
- What are the symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD)? Symptoms of HFMD may include a skin rash with small blisters that are most commonly found on the hands, feet, and buttocks. Blisters may also be present inside the mouth, which can make it difficult to eat or drink. Other symptoms include a low-grade fever, sore throat, runny nose, increased drooling or cough. Some people may show no symptoms at all, but they can still pass the virus to others. The infection usually goes away without any serious complications within seven to 10 days. On rare occasions, complications of viral meningitis or encephalitis may occur.
- How is hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD) spread? The virus can be passed through saliva, through the fluid from blisters on the hands and feet, and through the person’s feces (poop). A person is most contagious during the first week of the illness but may stay contagious for several weeks afterwards. The time between becoming infected and the start of symptoms is between three and seven days. It is not transmitted to or from pets or other animals. Outbreaks of HFMD in schools and childcare facilities usually coincide with an increased number of cases in the community.
- Who may become ill with hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD)? HFMD can affect anyone, but most cases occur in children under 5 years old. Adults have typically been exposed to the viruses causing HFMD earlier in life and are less likely to get it as adults. Infection results in immunity (protection) to the specific virus that caused the illness. However, since several different viruses can cause HFMD, a person is not completely immune to the disease and can get a case of HFMD again.
- How is hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD) treated? There is no specific treatment available for HVMD. Symptoms may be treated to provide relief from fever, aches, or pain from the mouth ulcers. Never give aspirin to a child, as this has been associated with Reye Syndrome.
- How can the spread of hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD) be reduced? Thoroughly sanitize all toys, especially those that are put in the mouth. Any toy that a child has mouthed should be removed from the play area until it has been cleaned and sanitized. Wash toys first with soapy water and then rinse with water. Sanitize toys and other potentially contaminated surfaces. Make sure that all children and adults use good handwashing practices, especially after diaper changing or using the toilet. Avoid contact with nose and throat secretions (such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus), fluid in blisters, and stool of infected persons. Teach children to cover their mouths and noses when sneezing or coughing. It is important to understand that the virus may still be excreted for weeks after the symptoms have disappeared. Some people may excrete the virus even though they never had any symptoms. Therefore, maintaining good sanitation and hand washing is always important and should be routinely practiced.
- Should you exclude those with hand, foot and mouth disease (HVMD) from group setting? HVMD is highly contagious. People with the illness should limit their exposure to others while they have active signs and symptoms. Children or staff with active symptoms of HVMD should be excluded until fever is resolved without the use of fever-reducing medications and mouth sores are healed.
Is your child too sick for school?
As a parent/guardian, you can help prevent the spread of illness by not sending a sick child to school. In determining whether to keep your child home, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the following guidelines. Learn more at www.sno.wednet.edu/healthservices.
- Appearance and behavior – A child that is difficult to wake, unusually tired, pale, irritable and/or lacking in normal appetite should remain at home. These symptoms could indicate the onset of illness.
- Fever – A temperature of 100.4 F (38C) or higher suggests infectious illness. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours (without fever reducing medication) before returning to school. Please note that if your child has a fever during school hours, they need to stay home the following school day. This means it may be greater than the 24-hour period.
- Cold symptoms or COVID-19 symptoms: The symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, shortness of breath, body aches, new loss of taste or smell, cough (new, changes, or worsening), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, congestion or sore throat. With any of these symptoms, individuals should stay home and should be tested for COVID-19. If testing positive, individuals should stay home for five days (first day of symptoms is day zero). If testing is negative, individuals can return if symptoms have significantly improved, and they are fever free for 24 hours without medication. Note: A limited supply of COVID-19 rapid testing supplies are available for free to students, staff, family, and community members at every district school. In addition, every U.S. household can order and receive four free COVID-19 rapid tests delivered to their home through USPS.
- Sore throat: A severe sore throat or sore throat that is worsening or not improving could be strep throat even if there is no fever. Other symptoms of strep throat are headache and stomach upset. Keep your child home from school and have your child medically evaluated. If strep has been diagnosed, students may return to school as early as 24 hours after antibiotic treatment begins.
- Eyes – White or yellow drainage from the eye, altered vision, and/or redness of the eye lid or skin surrounding the eye requires medical evaluation and provider clearance for school return. Pink eye is highly contagious.
- Ear infections without fever – Please have your child medically evaluated as repeated ear infections can cause permanent hearing loss. School exclusion is not necessary unless your child is uncomfortable.
- Diarrhea and/or vomiting – Three or more watery stools in a 24 -hour period and two or more episodes of vomiting in the past 24 hours is a reason to keep your child at home. Please keep your child home for 24 hours after the last episode (without medication). If episodes of diarrhea and/or vomiting happen at school, please keep your child home the following school day or until free of incident for at least 24 hours. A single episode of diarrhea or even vomiting, unaccompanied by any other symptoms, may not be reason enough for the student to miss school – it is best to look at your child’s overall condition in determining if they are well enough to attend school. If you do decide to send your child, please be sure that you are available to pick your child up if their condition worsens.
- Rash with fever or behavior change – This may indicate an infectious illness. Please have your child medically evaluated and keep your student at home until they have received provider clearance for school return.
- Chicken pox – Your child may return to school when all blisters have formed scabs and there is no evidence of new blister formation. This may take five to seven days from onset of blisters.
- Open wounds – Open wounds must be kept covered with a dressing that is taped on all four sides. Any wound that appears to be infected should be evaluated by a medical professional.
