As we continue into flu season, please see below for important reminders from the Health Office Team:

• Please be sure to monitor your student for flu-like symptoms (e.g., persistent cough, sore throat, fever, body aches)

• If your student is experiencing any exclusionary symptoms (such as a fever above 100.4, vomiting or diarrhea), please do not send them to school

• During this time, preventative measures such as covering your cough, hand-washing, and others can prevent the spread of illness; please be sure to review these strategies with your child at home
