Cold and Flu Season is Here
We are starting to see an increase in the influenza virus in our school and community. We would like to be as proactive as possible in the spread of Influenza as we can.
The influenza virus is spread from person to person by droplet contact such as sneezing and coughing. Please reinforce with your child the importance of hand hygiene. Hand washing is the most effective way to help stop the spread of germs. Covering your mouth and nose when sneezing is a second preventative measure. Some symptoms to look out for include nausea, generalized body aches, fever, chills, sore throat, and fatigue. If you suspect your child may have an illness that can be spread to others, has a fever (100.4 or greater), please keep them home and contact your child's doctor. In order for your child to return to school, they will need to remain fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication.
Please contact the school nurse, Penny Bradley, with any questions you may have.
