Health Update
Due to the high absence level normally seen at this time of year, we would like to give you some guidelines to help with your decision on whether or not to send your child to school. Please be advised that if your child has any of the symptoms listed below, we kindly suggest that he/she should not attend school:
Fever
Rash
Sore throat with fever
Persistent cough
Nausea and vomiting
Occasional diarrhea
If your child has recently been ill, please be aware of the following guidelines before having your child return to school. He/she should be:
Feeling fit for 24 hours before returning to school, athletic or social activities.
Free of a fever for at least 24 hours.
Free of vomiting and diarrhea for at least 24 hours.
Taking an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning after strep throat.
On prescription antibiotic eye drops for conjunctivitis for 24 hours before returning to school.
Home for at least 5 days after the appearance of the rash or until all blisters have scabbed.
To help keep your children healthy, make sure they have plenty of rest and a good, nutritious diet. Make sure they are dressed properly when playing outdoors. Please notify the school if your child has been diagnosed with strep throat, chickenpox, scarlet fever, etc.
The single most important thing you can do to keep your child free of illness is to teach them the proper way to wash hands. Make sure he/she uses soap and rubs the hands together for 15 seconds. He should then rinse his hands in running water and dry them thoroughly.
Please help us keep our children healthy by keeping your child home if ill. Remember, one sick child can spread the illness to all of his/her classmates.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Debido al alto número de ausencias normalmente visto en ésta época del año, nos gustaría darle algunas pautas de cómo ayudarlos en su decisión de enviar o no a su hijo(a) a la escuela. Tenga en cuenta que si su hijo muestra cualquiera de los siguientes síntomas, le sugerimos amablemente que él/ella no asista a la escuela:
Fiebre
Sarpullido
Dolor de garganta con fiebre
Tos continua
Náusea y vómitos
Diarrea ocasional
Si su hijo ha estado recientemente enfermo, por favor tenga en cuenta las siguientes pautas antes de hacer que su hijo regrese a la escuela. Él/Ella tiene que:
Sentirse saludable por 24 horas antes de regresar a la escuela, a actividades atléticas o sociales.
No fiebre al menos por 24 horas.
No vómitos o diarrea por lo menos 24 horas.
Tomar un antibiótico durante mínimo 24 horas antes de regresar después de la faringitis estreptocócica.
Con antibióticos recetados, gotas oculares para la conjuntivitis durante 24 horas antes de regresar a la escuela.
En casa por lo menos 5 días después de la aparición de la erupción o hasta que todas las ampollas hayan cicatrizado
Para ayudar a mantener a sus hijos sanos, asegúrese de que descansen lo suficiente y tengan una dieta buena y nutritiva. Asegúrese de que estén bien vestidos cuando jueguen al aire libre. Por favor notifique a la escuela si a su hijo le han diagnosticado estreptococos, varicela, escarlatina, etc.
Lo más importante que usted puede hacer para mantener a su hijo libre de enfermedades es enseñarle la manera correcta de lavarse las manos. Asegúrese de que él / ella use jabón y se frote las manos durante 15 segundos. Luego debe enjuagarse las manos con agua corriente y secarlas bien.
Por favor, ayúdenos a mantener a nuestros niños sanos manteniendo a su hijo en casa si está enfermo. Recuerde, un niño enfermo puede contagiar la enfermedad a todos sus compañeros de clase.
¡Gracias por su cooperación!
