As we are entering the Influenza season, we would like to try get ahead of the flu by educating parents on how to prevent the flu and how to manage the flu if you get it.   

Here are a couple resources that will help fight the flu at Star Center. Please take a moment to look at both links below to help answer any questions related to how to prevent the flu, how to prevent the spread of the flu, how to care for your child that has the flu, and what serious symptoms to watch for that indicate he/she may have flu-like complications. 

Note-- If your child has a fever of 100.4 or higher, it is Joint #1 policy to keep them home 24 hours after their fever is gone. The fever needs to be gone without the use of a
fever-reducing medicine.
