Flu Alert-  Do Not Send Students to School if they present the following;
 
1.   Generalized flu symptoms, low-grade fever, achiness, chills and headache.  If your child presents a fever in the morning, please do not give them Tylenol and send them to school.  By noon their fever is back and they have infected the class.  They should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
 
2. Diarrhea and or Vomiting.  If your child has these symptoms in the morning or everning, it is wise to give them the next day to completely recover.

Have your child get a flu vaccination this year.  Keep that nasty bug away!

LICE ARE SMART
 
They can ADD eggs to your head
They can SUBTRACT blood from your scalp
They can MULTIPLY quickly
They can DIVIDE you from your friends
 
BE SMARTER THAN THEM
 Don't share hats, combs, ribbons, etc...
 Report to the School Nurse when you get lice to prevent spreading.

HANDWASHING
Germs can be easily spread from one person to another.  Handwashing is one of the best ways to stop the spread of GERMS. 

Magnifying glass

Wash your hands, wash  your hands, wash your hands.

We could learn alot from crayons;
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names, and
all are different colors.....but
they all exist very nicely in the same box.
