    • How to Fight Germs

      • Avoid close contact with those who are sick.
      • If your child is ill, including vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, PLEASE keep them home for at least 24 hours. The fever must be gone WITHOUT the use of fever-reducing medications before they should return to school.
      • Cover nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
      • Wash hands frequently with soap and water, but if not available, use an alcohol-based rub or sanitizer.
      • Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread fast this way!
      • Clean and disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated with germs.
