Dear Diary-
Oh Diary I forgot to tell you that Mom KILLED last weekend on stage at the Food Fest talking about the Swine Flu. Shannon and I nearly fell out of our seats laughing so hard! Anyway Mom ins making her rounds and here is her letter to all parents and what they should know about the flu...GO MOM!
Dear Parents:
Cold and flu season is upon us. The school clinic has seen an increase in visits; many require that the student be sent home. Help us to prevent spreading illness to others in the classrooms, by following the guidelines below.
Guidelines for Keeping Sick Children Home from School
Appearance: Unusually tired, pale, irritable, lack of appetite.
Fever. The child should remain at home with a fever greater than 100°. The child can return to school after he/she has been fever free for 24 hours (without fever reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Motrin).
A sick child cannot learn effectively and is unable to participate in classes in a meaningful way. Keeping a sick child home prevents the spread of illness in the school community and allows the child opportunity to rest and recover.Please keep the clinic updated on your contact numbers and any health concerns you may have regarding your child. We are here to assist in any way we can, and thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Linda S. Gabel, RN, CCM
Tildenville School Nurse
