Cold and Flu Season
We have had several students sick recently with colds and flu. Here are some things to keep in mind to help your kids keep germs to themselves:
Wash/sanitize your hands often.
Cover your mouth & nose using the bend of your elbow or a tissue when coughing or sneezing, then wash your hands.
Keep your hands away from your eyes and mouth.
Don't share water bottles, food, or personal items with others.
Keep sick kids and home. They must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication. For details on our sick policy, refer to page 7 of the student parent handbook.
Keep hydrated.
Get plenty of sleep.
