Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this newsletter finds you and your family in good health. As we navigate through the school year, it's essential to address the well-being of our students, especially when it comes to their health. Here's a guide with some resources to help you make informed decisions about when to send your child to school and where to go for quick care.

When to keep your child home from school:

• Fever: Keep your child home if they have a fever of 100.4°F or higher. Wait until they are fever free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medications.
• Symptoms: Consider the severity of symptoms. If your child experiences persistent coughing, extreme fatigue, or difficulty breathing, it's best to keep them home until these symptoms improve.
• Contagious Period: Ensure your child is no longer contagious before sending them back to school to prevent the spread of illness.
• Notification: Inform the school as soon as possible if your child is unwell.

Quick Care: Urgent Care or ER? Where to Go?

Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging. Please see the attached document below titled "Quick Care, Urgent Care, or ER: Where to Go?" It offers valuable information to help you determine the appropriate care for your child's needs.

Cold, Flu, or COVID-19?

In these times, distinguishing between symptoms can be tricky. Please click on the document below or visit our website for guidance on identifying whether your child is experiencing a cold, the flu, or symptoms associated with COVID-19.

The Flu: A Guide for Parents

Flu season is upon us and being informed is the first step in prevention and care. Check out the guide below on dealing with the flu and keeping your child healthy. We encourage you to explore these resources on our website for detailed information on these crucial topics.

Your child's health is of the utmost importance to us, and together, we can create a safe and nurturing environment for all. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the school nurse or administrative staff.

We here at FMS are wishing you and your family continued health and well-being.

This letter is to inform you of the immunization requirements for (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis), as a booster to the initial series of required doses. Ohio is requiring the Tdap vaccine, as opposed to Td, to protect against Pertussis (whooping cough). In addition to the Tdap, your child is also required to receive the Meningococcal vaccine prior to the entry into Grade 7. The Meningococcal vaccine prevents bacteria that is commonly spread from person to person, especially in teens and young adults. These bacteria can cause meningitis, which is an infection of the fluid and lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord; it can also enter the bloodstream, causing sepsis. Please contact your health care provider to schedule an appointment to receive the vaccines your child will need for the next year. For a complete list of immunization requirements for school-age children in the State of Ohio, please go to: www.odh.ohio.gov/odhPrograms/dis/Immunization/imunchsc.aspx REQUIRED 7th Grade shots (2 shots): · Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis) · Meningococcal vaccine
