Flu and cold season are upon us and to add to it, Fall allergies look a lot like cold symptoms. It can be a challenge determining when your child is sick or when they are suffering from allergies. Allergies may come and go but can be easily treated with over-the-counter allergy medications, so your student is not suffering from continuous runny nose, sore throat, or disruptive clearing cough due to congestion in the throat while trying to learn. Please monitor your students at home for fever, multiple cold symptoms including uncontrolled cough and runny nose, and sore throats with swelling, redness and visible drainage. Please help us keep illness at bay by keeping your student at home if they are showing signs of illness.

Thank you and take care,

Nurse Wade

Lice are pesky parasites and although these insects cannot jump or fly, they can be transmitted from one child to another via head-to-head contact, or the sharing of hats, combs, brushes, etc. We need your help to stop lice before it makes its way into the school. Please examine your child(ren) on a regular basis for itching, lice or nits. A child with active head lice most likely will also have eggs (called nits) attached to the hair shaft. They are teardrop in shape, grayish-white in color, and very small. They are glued to the hair and cannot be washed or brushed out like dandruff. The nits are usually seen behind the ears and the nape of the neck. Early detection and removal of head lice and their eggs (nits) is the best way to control head lice. If your child is found to have head lice, a treatment must be applied to the hair. Family members should also be checked for head lice & treated if lice are found. Please contact the school nurse as soon as you learn that your child has lice. The hair must be treated before returning to school, the nurse will check for active lice before returning to class, and the hair must be retreated in 7 days to ensure re-infestation has not occurred. Per policy a notification letter will be sent home to the classroom if one case of active lice is found in that class.
