📢 Important Health Reminder from the Nurse 📢
As the weather changes, it’s essential to keep our students healthy and safe! Here’s a quick guide on when your child should stay home from school:
🤒 Fever: If your child has a temperature over 100.4°F, they must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning.
🦠 Contagious Illness: Keep your child home if they have a communicable disease (like the flu or strep throat).
🤢 Vomiting/Diarrhea: Students must be symptom-free for 24 hours without medication before returning.
👁 Pink Eye: Highly contagious! Students need to stay home and be on medication for 24 hours before coming back.
👉 Lice Alert: Teach children not to share hats or hair accessories to prevent the spread. If lice are identified, children will need to be picked up for treatment.
Help us reduce the spread of illness by encouraging good health habits:
✅ Plenty of rest and healthy food
✅ Avoid sharing utensils, bottles, or clothing
✅ Practice handwashing or use sanitizer
✅ Cover coughs and sneezes
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school healthy and safe! 🐺
🌊 Polar Plunge Update! 🌊
