A Few
Tips for School:
-
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Germs are passed directly and indirectly
and hands are the biggest source of contamination.
-
If you are sneezing or coughing, use tissues. They cut down on the airborne germ contamination.
Throw used tissues away and again—wash your hands!!
-
If a child has been vomiting or having diarrhea all night, keep them home; do not send
them to school to spread the stomach virus.
-
If your child has been running a fever of 100-101 or higher, do not send them to school.
Keep them home where they can rest comfortably until they are fever-free for 24 hours.

Cold
Weather Information:
Dress appropriately for the weather. Cold weather clothing should include-long pants, a sweater or sweatshirt, socks and full shoes (not sandals!!) a
coat, gloves and some type of head gear to cover the ears. Frostbite can happen quickly when the temperatures drop.
Snowstorm Information:
If the TV Weather forecasts snow in any amount, rush out to your local store
and buy milk, bread and eggs. You just might make it on to their
evening news.
