​Dear Parent/Guardian,
 
With the impending flu season, we would like to work with you to make sure that our students remain healthy at home and at school. With proper adherence to guidelines and collaboration with your healthcare professionals, we can prevent them from getting sick and from spreading illnesses.
 
Please do not send your child to school if he/she has any of the following:

1. Fever over 100 F or higher
2. Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
3. Continuous coughing not relieved by cough medicine
4. Earache
5. Rash of unknown origin
6. Strep throat

 
Your child may return to school if:

1. Fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducer medications
2. Free of vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours
3. There is a signed note from a healthcare professional indicating that the student can go back to class should be presented to the office.

 
Remind the students to:

1. Wash hands often with soap and water.
2. Cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue or a bent elbow. Used tissues should be disposed immediately in the trash can.
3. Do not share drinks, food, or utensils.
4. Rest and hydrate often.
5. Avoid people who are sick, and to stay at home when feeling sick.
6. Local clinics are now calling about the availability of the flu vaccines. Get your flu vaccines now!

 
If your emergency contact information may have changed, please update your record with us.
Thank you!
