Health & Safety Reminders
As Flu season is upon us, here are a few reminders to keep you and your children healthy. We will be reinforcing good hygiene practices in school and hope that you can reinforce at home.- Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, feeling tired and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
- Flu vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months and older every year.
- Cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Wash your hands often.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Keep your child home from school for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone. (The fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) A fever is defined as 100°F (37.8°C)* or higher.
