Greetings from the Health Office

Greetings from the Health Office!

It’s safe to say we’re officially in the cold and flu season. If your child is not feeling well and may have a hard time participating in learning, please keep them home to rest and recover.

Here are some ways to keep each other safe and healthy!

Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
Practice good hand hygiene often
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill.
