Health News
Since we've returned from February vacation, we've noticed that seasonal viral illnesses, both respiratory (COVID, FLU, RSV, etc.) and gastrointestinal ("The Stomach Bug") are still around. We ask that you continue practicing proper handwashing with your child daily, especially after bathroom use, before eating and preparing food. Also, please follow CPS illness guidelines for when to keep your child home.
When your child is ill, HYDRATION is very important (especially with our little ones) throughout recovery. Frequent small amounts/sips of (low sugar) fluids are best... appetite will eventually return when the body is ready. Please review the information provided and always reach out to your Family Practitioner or seek medical care if symptoms worsen for further guidance.
Please use our absence line (978-251-5188 Option 0) or our attendance email (chipsattendance@chelmsford.k12.ma.us) to report your child's absence from school and be sure to state the reason for the absence (illness, appointment, travel, etc). If your child is out due to illness, please let us know the nature of the illness (fever, vomiting, cough, etc.).
Nurse Kristen can be reached by calling the CHIPS main number (978-251-5188) and selecting option 3.
