If your child has a fever or complains about not feeling well, please keep them home. We continue to have students who are out sick. I will continue to wipe down the room daily.
I wanted to let you know that we had 5 students out sick today and 1 student went home sick. There is definitely something going around. I will be wiping down our classroom daily.
Please have your child wash their hands as soon as they get home from school. Children are allowed to wash their hands in the classroom.
The following information is from WebMD.
Get your kids to wash their hands. Yes, this one should be obvious. But it really can’t be stressed enough: hand washing is a crucial way to prevent germs from spreading. About 80% of infectious diseases are spread by touch.
If kids are going to wash their hands, teach them to do it right. Experts recommend scrubbing hands for 20 seconds or so — as long as it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” twice. The type of soap doesn’t matter — to prevent germs, the regular stuff will work just as well as antibacterial soap.
