Dear Parent or Guardian: The peak of the cold and flu season is upon us. To prevent widespread flu in the school, we recommend that your child stay home from school if experiencing flu or cold symptoms. To decide whether or not to send your child to school, please consider the following guidelines: Consider keeping your child at home for an extra day of rest and observation if he or she has any of the following symptoms: · Very stuffy or runny nose and/or cough · Mild sore throat (no fever, no known exposure to strep) · Headache · Mild stomach ache Definitely keep your child at home for treatment and observation if he or she has any of these symptoms: · Fever (greater than 100 degrees by mouth and your child may return to school only after his or her temperature has been consistently below 100 degrees, by mouth, for a minimum of 24 hours) · Vomiting (even once) – Students must stay home for 24 hours after vomiting. · Diarrhea · Chills · General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or muscle aches · Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough · Lots of nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose To help prevent the flu and other colds, teach your children good hygiene habits: · Wash hands frequently · Do not touch eyes, nose or mouth · Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, use a paper tissue, throw it away and then wash hands · Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Colds are the most contagious during the first 48 hours. A child who has a fever should remain at home until "fever free" for a minimum of 24 hours without medication. Keeping a sick child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom. Thank you, Megan Nowak, RN OPS Nurse
