Health & Safety
News from the nurse office:
Hand, foot, and mouth disease: In the nurses’ offices we have heard of some students who have been diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is caused by a virus and is easily transmitted. Most people experience only mild symptoms. Symptoms may include fever, sore throat, decreased (or loss of) appetite, and sometimes sores (may be blister-like) inside the mouth or on the hands and/or feet.
Good handwashing is an important way to prevent the spread of hand, foot and mouth disease. It’s important to keep shared surfaces clean as well.
If your child is diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease, please keep your child home until the child has been fever free for at least 24 hours without fever reducing medication. If your child has any open lesions/spots or is drooling due to uncomfortable lesions in the child’s mouth, please keep the child home. If your child is unable to be available for learning due to not feeling well with this virus, please keep your child at home.

Flu Vaccine:
The FDA has approved a flu vaccine that can be given at home by spraying the vaccine into the nose. The flu, or influenza, is caused by a virus that causes respiratory symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that people 6 months and older get a flu vaccine, unless you have a medical condition that prevents you from getting the vaccine.
With a flu vaccine that can be given at home, parents will not have to miss work or other obligations in order to get to the doctor’s office or flu clinic. Parents may want to reach out to their child’s primary care provider and ask about using this vaccine.
