Cold & Flu Season

Yesterday we had two students absent.  Two more went home after lunch because of a fever.  This morning 5 students are absent.  It is that time of year!

We do everything we can here at school to minimize the impact of germs on the students.  However, at this age things like nose picking and fingers and pencils and markers in the mouth are quite common. So, the most important thing here is to make sure there is lots of hand washing and the tables are sprayed and cleaned.

One problem you could help with is the water bottles.  They are supposed to go home each night.  If the water bottle does not go home, the child will not be allowed to use it again the next day.  They can again use that bottle when it has been taken home and washed.

If you are going to send a bottle with your child - and I do think that is a good idea for learning - then please check their bag each night and wash it out before it comes back.  That is the standard expectation for water bottles in all classrooms.

One last request... if your child has a fever that is being controlled by tylenol or some other fever reducer, please keep them at home.  They are still considered to have a fever.

Thank you!
