Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
As we enter the fall and winter season, we want to remind everyone about common illnesses that tend to circulate this time of year, including strep throat, respiratory infections, colds, flu, and stomach viruses.
 
Symptoms to watch for:
 Fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, vomiting, or diarrhea.
 
To help prevent the spread of illness:

  • Encourage frequent handwashing.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes.
  • Avoid close contact with others when feeling unwell.

If your child is experiencing any symptoms, please keep them home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication and have stopped vomiting or experiencing diarrhea. They can return to school once they are feeling well enough to participate in normal activities.
 
If your child is diagnosed with an illness by a healthcare provider, please notify the school nurse. We track illnesses and are required to report if multiple cases occur within a classroom.
 
Thank you for your continued help in keeping our school community healthy and safe.
