Nurse Note

Hello Hyman Fine Families,

* Screenings for Grade 1 & 2 will begin in the Health Office on 11/13/24 & 11/22/24. Please make sure your student has their glasses or hearing devices on those days.

With the beautifully colored leaves and cool air come the germs that spread cold/flu/viruses. To combat illnesses, frequent hand washing, keeping hands away from the eyes, nose, and mouth, and receiving vaccines will help. Ways to boost your immune system to help fight off illness are healthy eating, regular exercise, proper sleep, and lowering stress.

Please follow the districts’ guidelines below about when to keep your child home from school, as this will help to minimize the spread of illness.

• A fever of 100.0 Fahrenheit – your child can return to school after they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication to treat or prevent fever.

• Diarrhea – your child can return to school after 24 hours without any episodes of diarrhea.

• Vomiting – your child can return to school after 24 hours from the last episode of vomiting.

• Excessive coughing or wheezing.

 • Illness that requires treatment with an antibiotic – your child should remain home until they have completed 24 hours on prescribed medication. (Examples include but not limited to- strep, impetigo, conjunctivitis)

Additional note:  Please pack a change of clothes in your child's backpack for any unforeseen circumstances.
