NOTE FROM MRS. HOYLE

We are officially entering cold and flu season!  With that comes a variety of illnesses that are showing their ugly heads at school right now.  We have had many reported cases of fevers, stomach bugs, head and chest colds.  The Health Office has been extra busy helping students with vomiting, fevers, headaches, colds and coughs. 
 
PLEASE, if your student shows signs of illness, DO NOT send them to school. If your student has a fever, they MUST be fever free, without medication such as Tylenol or Advil, for 24 hours.  If your student is vomiting, please give them an extra day at home to regain their health and strength.  We do not want to spread illness from family to family.
 
Thank you for your cooperation in helping maintain the health of our OLPH School Community!
