Just a few reminders.....

February is National Heart Month!  I will be speaking to the children during the month about the importance of a healthy diet and proper exercise. You can reinforce what they will be learning in school by encouraging your children to be physically active and by providing healthy snacks.  I ask, too, that you make sure your child has a nutritious breakfast everyday.  I see far too many children in my office complaining of headaches and stomachaches because they have not had breakfast before coming to school.

Strep throat is going around!! If your child complains of a sore throat, PLEASE take them seriously! Even if they don't have a fever or a rash, it may still be strep, so a trip to the doctor may be in order!

If your child has had a fever and /or vomiting, they may NOT RETURN to school until they have been fever free and /or not vomiting for 24hrs!

As always, it is important to reinforce with your children good hand washing and covering their sneezes and coughs! These two things contribute greatly to preventing the spred of germs in school!

Please remember to keep your child's emergency info updated!  This is very important as we go into cold and flu season!

All screenings have been completed for this year.  If you have received a vision or hearing referral for your child, please have it completed and returned to me as soon as possible.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have concerns!
