Cold and Flu Season Health Tips for Parents:   With cold and flu season at its peak at school, here are a few reminders of things you can do to keep your family healthy and minimize the spread of illness:

  *   If your child has a fever or vomits, please keep them home until they are fever-free for 24 hours.
  *   Please remind your child to use hand sanitizer liberally and cover their coughs with their elbows.
  *   Please remind children to wash their hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds (sing Happy Birthday twice).
  *   Please make sure your children get a good night's sleep so that they and their immune system are well-rested to learn and fight off flu bugs.
  *   If you do not have a doctor or medical insurance, please call the school and ask for a resource or to speak with the school nurse.
