| 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. 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. | Message from the California Department of Public Health  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
-
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
| 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. (Amer. 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. | | | 30 - School Pictures (8:15 a.m.)
