Illnesses
We have had a few cases of pink eye, as well as a couple of cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease in the school. We continue to practice good hygiene here at school and are asking for your help in preventing the spread of illnesses by encouraging your children to wash their hands frequently and by keeping your children home when they are ill.
Children with pink eye may return to school after the contagious stage has passed (usually 3-5 days after a diagnosis). Children with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease may return to school once they are feeling better, which means that their fevers are gone and their sores have healed.
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kathryn and/or Julie.
