FLU SEASON: The flu season has arrived, and we feel it is important that parents be aware and on the lookout for flu symptoms. We want to give you some suggestions and guidelines for keeping your child and your family healthy.

One of the first ways of controlling exposure to the flu is to avoid crowds and close contact with others.
If your child is sick with flu symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing), please keep your child home until s/he is symptom free for 24 hours.
We have placed antiseptic handwash and Lysol disinfecting spray in each classroom and office. It is advisable for students to also have their own antiseptic handwash and to use it frequently.
Teachers are reminding their students to wash their hands frequently, cover coughs or sneezes, not share drinking bottles, food, straws, etc., and to use the antiseptic handwash.

Flu Symptoms: Fever, body aches including headache, fatigue, runny nose, cough and congestion.

What to do if your child has these symptoms: Contact your doctor; keep your child home until s/he has been symptom free (including having no fever) for at least 24 hours.

By following the above precautions, we are hopeful that we can contain and prevent widespread cases of the flu.
