Do Your Part To Stay Healthy
The U. S. and VCMS is in the middle of a brutal flu season. Mrs. Manuel sent out info yesterday with tips and healthful hints to keep this bug at bay. Please be sure to do your part to make sure our school as a student "body" stays healthy.
1. If you are sick STAY HOME. If you have flu-like symptoms or a fever you should avoid contact with others.
2. Wash your hands often with warm soap and water.
3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
3. At least once a day during Flu Season, wear gloves and wipe down the following areas with Clorox Bleach Wipes; student desks, student computer keyboards, door knobs inside and out and any other surface with high student contact.
4. Remind students to cover their mouths and nose when they sneeze.
5. Flu Symptoms - fever, chills, headache, fatigue, body aches, trouble breathing, pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen, difficulty eating or drinking or confusion.
The flu is spreading across the United States. Please do not send your child to school if they are exhibiting the following symptoms:
- Cough
- Fever
- Throwing Up
- Sore Throat
- Congestion
- Head and Body Aches
Students should be symptom free for 24-48 hours before returning to school. We appreciate your support.
Sincerely,
Angelia Manuel
Safe School Administrator
