A message from Nurse Hope:
We are seeing an increasing number of students coming to school sick, in turn exposing others to contagious illnesses. In accordance to CDC recommendations please adhere to the following:
Stay home when you are sick. Based on CDC recommendations a child should stay home if he or she has:
-
fever of 100.4 or higher, lower if accompanied by other symptoms
-
vomiting and/or diarrhea (within 24 hrs.)
-
Sore throat if you suspect a strep infection, even if there is no fever
-
Drainage from an ear or eye (may indicate infection)
-
Severe cough that may be uncontrollable.
-
Frequent sneezing and coughing. This spreads sickness to others.
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
-
Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, especially when someone is ill.
We are looking forward to finishing this school year Healthy and Safe!
