If it seems that you've been hearing that a lot of your student's friends have been sick, you're not alone. Our team of school nurses has noticed it, too, and shares a few key reminders to help you and your student(s) stay healthy as we all look toward the end of cold and flu season.
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the restroom and before eating.
2. When you need to cough or sneeze, do so into a tissue or your elbow
3. Stay home/keep your student home when feeling sick
Our nurses are so thankful to have you on their team as they work to keep our students and our schools healthy. Remember, you can find the graphic below any time on our website under Clinics, Health and Wellness.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Students are welcome to bring in Valentines for their class, but no food items such as candy, cupcakes, cookies, etc. The valentines should be paper valentines and not include candy with them. While we are very appreciative of our families and their generosity, we are continuing the current plan of no birthday/party food treats being brought in. Classrooms do not have Valentine’s Day parties. We appreciate your understanding in keeping all of our students safe.
