Greetings!
Being back at school re-energizes the goal to keep your child healthy in a large community environment. To minimize the number of students impacted by winter colds, here are some things your child can do to keep healthy:
- Wash hands - this is the number one thing your child can do to prevent from getting sick. Also, make sure your child keeps their hands moisturized as dry skin can crack and create potential openings for germs.
- Use a tissue for coughs or sneezes, or the crook of their elbow, which is better than using their hands.
- If your child is sick, particularly if he or she is running a fever, it would be best to let him or her recover at home. We know that students don't want to miss class, but it would be best if your child was free of a fever for 24 hours before returning to school. Our teachers are always willing to work with students who have been out of school because of illness.
Wishing you and your family a healthy new year!
