Be a Germ Stopper

 We need everyone's help to keep yourself, your family, and your friends healthy.  Here is what you can do to keep the flu away:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water or use a hand alcohol-based sanitizer (if you send sanitizer to the school, please be sure that it is fragrance free, 60-90% alcohol based)
• Cover coughs/sneezes with a tissue/upper arm and NOT your hand
• If you are sick, please stay at home until you are free of symptoms for 24 hours (fever free is fever free without medication)
• Please have arrangements in place that a parent, guardian, or a designated alternate could come to the school to pick up an ill child as soon as possible
•
