Notes from the Nurse, Sharon Dodson, RN

 

FLU SEASON IS HERE!

Preventative measures we can take to minimize the transmission of germs are:

  1. Handwashing- Use soap and water and wash for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.
  2. Cover your mouth and nose with tissues (or into the crook of your elbow) when coughing or sneezing.
  3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
  4. Avoid sharing drinks, water bottles, silverware, and pencils.
  5. If you are sick, stay home!

 

ALLERGY ALERT: Allergies and asthma, which can be exercise-induced, are starting to surface. If your student will need an inhaler, please complete the medication-at-school form available in the office. This includes those students who carry their inhaler in their backpack (grade 3 and up)-see section III at the bottom of the form.

 

OTC MEDICATION: School personnel are very limited in the first aid they can perform. No Aspirin, Tylenol, Benadryl, or topical antiseptic creams/ ointments are available. For example, should your student complain of a headache, it will be necessary to contact a parent or other person(s) listed on the emergency card and ask him/her to bring in and administer the medication.

 

CONTINUE TO HAVE A WONDERFUL HEALTHY YEAR!!
