How Does the Flu Spread?
The flu is sneaky! It can spread when someone who's sick coughs, sneezes, or even talks. The flu virus can travel up to 6 feet in the air! It can also spread if someone touches a surface that an ill person touched and then touches their face. Yikes!

How Can You Beat the Flu? Here’s What You Can Do:

Get Your Flu Shot

The best way to stay flu-free is by getting your flu shot! It's quick, easy, and helps protect you and everyone around you.

Everyday Flu-Fighting Superpowers

• Keep your student home if they’re running a fever (100.4°F or higher).
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve (no one likes germs flying around).
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer when you can’t get to a sink.
• Don’t forget to clean and disinfect high-touch spots, like doorknobs, light switches, and desks!

Take Antiviral Medicine If You Need It
If your doctor gives you antiviral meds, take them! They can make the flu feel less awful and help you get better faster. But remember, antiviral meds are for the flu—not COVID-19.

Together, we can keep the flu from spreading and stay healthy and strong this season!

You will see the results of your students' MAP scores this week. Students will bring them home, but you may not know how to read them. Please let me know if you have any questions, or call your teacher. This resource will help as well.

Teachers send home materials and books each day. It is the caretakers' job to review the take-home folder, help students with the materials, and read the books. With take-home books, many teachers ask for caretaker feedback on the student's reading. Be sure to read and send the book back to school, so future students can read it.

We make it easy for you to discuss this at home. Just print the following document to guide conversations at home about honesty.

Schools are required by law to make and follow accommodations when a doctor diagnosis a student. These tests can be expensive. However FREE neuropsychological evaluations are available for students who need it, live in Kane County, and are income eligible. Neuropsychological evaluations can cost families thousands of dollars. These evaluations can provide valuable insights into a student’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning to better support their academic and personal success.
