Notes from the Health Room

Students with a fever of 100 Fahrenheit or higher and a cough and/or sore throat should stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medication. We are trying to prevent the spread of communicable disease in school.

Handwashing is the best way to help prevent the spread of germs. Please have a discussion with your kids and emphasize the importance of handwashing during the school day.
