NURSE'S NOTES

It will soon feel more like winter with the end of daylight saving time and colder temperatures. Seasonal illnesses may be occurring with more frequency and a review of what to do is always helpful.  Please have a plan and a backup plan should you be called to pick up an ill child at school. Make sure the school has updated phone numbers. It does help to let the school nurse know if your child is out ill as  I frequently get asked by parents 'What is going around?'

Here to help anytime.
