WINTER WELLNESS TIPS:
Eat healthy food, exercise, rest, and wash our hands! Students should not be in school if they have the following:
- A fever of 100.4 degrees or greater
- Vomiting or diarrhea because of illness
- An unknown rash or possible contagious condition
- Are unable to focus due to: pain, chronic health condition and acute illness
- Flu-like illness (with or without fever) – headache, fatigue, cough, aches, weakness and sore throat
- COVID positive result- student should remain home for 5 days from first symptom (recommended masking for 5 additional days upon return to school)
Additional Tips
- Hand washing with soap and water is a better choice than alcohol based sanitizers when available, especially for stomach related illnesses.
- Wash coats and book bags often.
Return to School
- A child should be free of symptoms of contagious disease (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, suspicious rash, etc.) for 24 hours without the using of fever reducing medication before returning to school.
- Please be prompt when picking up your ill or injured child in order to minimize his or her chance of spreading or acquiring a contagious illness.
