Notes from the Health Office :
Well, The Flu has officially arrived at our Moretown school. We had hoped to make it to February Break, but alas we didn’t. So, here’s a reminder of all the practices that we know help to reduce spread. Hand washing of course can not be overrated but also there’s reinforcing with your children to turn and cover coughs and sneezes, throw used kleenex away, and frequent wiping of commonly used surfaces including the often forgotten door knobs, faucets and toilet handles. All of these should be followed by handwashing. We know that it sometimes feels like an impossible task especially with our young ones, but it’s worth the effort and helps build awareness about the importance of keeping body fluids to ourselves as much as we can. If we all work together, hopefully we can minimize the spread.
Remember that our school policy regarding fever states that a child must be fever free -below 100* for 24 hours without the use of either Ibuprofen/Advil/Motrin or Acetaminophen/Tylenol. This means if your child goes to bed with a fever, even if has no fever in the morning, they should be kept home in order to ensure the 24 hour fever free policy. I know that this may seem unnecessary, but as we all know, our temperatures are lowest in the morning but then can climb throughout the day. As long as there’s a fever, there is the possibility of a child being contagious. Also this child is more vulnerable to other illnesses or worsening symptoms.
Below I’ve attached the Decision Tree put out by Central Vermont Medical Center to help answer questions about Flu versus Cold virus.
Hope you and your family stay well,
