Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are currently seeing an increase in fevers and sore throats among our elementary students. As we work together to keep our school community healthy, we would like to remind everyone about the importance of proper handwashing and covering our mouths when coughing or sneezing.
Good hand hygiene is one of the best ways to stop the spread of germs. Please encourage your child to:
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after using the restroom.
Use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
Avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth.
It is also very important that students:
Cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when they cough or sneeze.
Throw away used tissues right away.
If a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into their elbow, not their hands.
If your child has a fever, sore throat, or is not feeling well, please keep them home and contact your healthcare provider as needed. Students should be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep our students safe and healthy. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office.
