News From the Nurse

H1N1 is still here but our school has weathered it quite well. I would like to thank all of you for keeping your student home when they were ill and not sending them back until they were fever free for 24 hours. I think that has really helped keep our school healthy. Please continue to remind your children to wash their hands, cover their coughs, get plenty of rest, and eat well balanced meals.

Cold weather is here. Please be sure to remind your children to wear their winter coats, mittens, hats, etc. We will be going outside for recess and it is much more enjoyable when dressed appropriately. Thanks for all you do to keep our school healthy!

Important Information on H1N1

CDC Flier for H1N1

If you have further questions after reading the flier please contact the CDC at www.flu.gov or 1-800-CDC-INFO.

For a resource closer to home you can always ask Nurse Sandy for her recommendations as well.
