Message from 
the California Department of Public Health  bronze-medicine-symbol.jpg
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

To keep your school as healthy as possible this year, please promote flu vaccine among your students and staff.  The California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommend flu vaccine each fall for everyone 6 months of age and older.
 
Getting vaccinated is easy:
  • Contact your doctor, nurse, clinic, or pharmacy, and ask if they stock flu vaccine
  • Many local health departments offer low or no cost flu immunizations
  • To find other locations near you, visit http://flushot.healthmap.org

Take other important steps to help stop the spread of germs:
  • Stay home while sick and limit contact with others
  • Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with your sleeve or disposable tissue
  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based sanitizer
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
To learn more about flu, visit www.flu.gov.

Cold and Flu Season are here!
  
If you feel your child is sick or might be sick, we ask you to please keep them at home.  
I
your child's temperature is 99.8 degrees or higher, it is considered a low-grade temperature.  Please keep your child at home as whatever your child has is now considered contagious.   
 
A child must be FEVER FREE (NO fever), no diarrhea, and not vomiting, WITHOUT any medications (i.e. Acetaminophen/ Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Motrin) in their system for at least 24 hours before they can return to school.
 
If your child suddenly comes down with the following symptoms:  fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, fatigue, rash, nausea or vomiting - we encourage you to contact your local physician and discuss your child's symptoms.
 
Washing Hands
       
Make Hand-Washing a Habit  
  
Kids who wash their hands at least four times a day have a 24 percent fewer sick days from colds and flu, and 51 percent fewer sick days due to stomach illnesses. (A
mer. Public Hlth Assoc.).
 
Teach kids to scrub their whole hands - up to the wrists and under the fingernails - and to do it long enough to sing the ABCs or "Happy Birthday" all the way through.  A timer works well, too.

"Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times!...
Nothing people did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don't throw it all away now.
You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing!
But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion.
It won't be long now, he's on the way;  he'll show up most any minute.
But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust;
    if he cuts and runs, I won't be very happy.
But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no!
We'll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way."
(Heb. 10:32-39, MSG.)
