HEALTHY HINTS

Please keep your child home if they have fever of 100° or more.  The school district policy says children may return to school when they have been fever free for 24 hours.  Please call the clinic when you have a sick child and let us know the symptoms. We keep track of infectious diseases in classrooms.

Practice good hand washing to decrease the transmission of germs. Remember that good hand washing is the single most effective method of stopping the spread of infection. Once you recover from an infectious disease throw away your toothbrush or toothbrush head to avoid reinfecting yourself.

Children need something for breakfast to help them do their best in school. Some ideas of quick and nutritious breakfast foods are:

	Nutrigrain bars (look for the ones that contain calcium)
	orange juice with calcium
	milk products-yogurt and breakfast drinks
	fruit smoothies – blend fruit, yogurt, milk and ice
	Also a couple of times a week cut up fresh fruit and put it in baggies. You then have a serving of fruit that is easy to grab and go.

Please provide us with any updated immunization records as they occur.  Keep the original and send a copy to our office.

Please call if you have any questions:  428-3505.
