SCHOOL NURSE DETAILS IN REGARDS TO CORONAVIRUS

The school nurse will be available daily at each school to assist you and your child with concerns or questions about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact on the school system. You can call the school and ask to speak with the nurse but please, in regards to the health of your family and the health of others, do not come to the school for meetings. If your child has medicine that would need to be picked up, for you to manage his/her treatment at home these next two weeks, then please call to schedule a pick-up time. As always, we are here to maintain the health and well-being of all the students and to assist in any way that we possibly can.

As with any prevention from the spread of infections, it is recommended that you use the following precautionary measures:

Regular hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
Covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing.
Avoid touching your eye, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
Thoroughly cooking meat and eggs.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Avoid touching high-touch surfaces in public places-elevator buttons, door handles, handrails, handshaking with people, etc. Use a tissue or your sleeve to cover your hand or finger if you must touch something.
Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
Boost your immune system naturally-get adequate sleep/rest, eat a balanced diet high in all essential vitamins and minerals, ensure sufficient hydration, and limit stress.
Avoid travel and high-risk areas. 10. Stay home when you are sick!
