Student Illness/symptoms guidelines
How do I know I am washing my hands correctly? Here's how:
- Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold), turn off the tap, and apply soap.
- Lather your hands by rubbing them together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
- Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.
- Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.
- Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them

- Dress your child for cold, wet weather. Even if you transport them to school, they are usually expected to be out of doors at recess time.
- Consider clothing that is visible in poor weather and dim light. Many parents sew strips of reflector tape to their youngster's jackets.
- Students should wear sturdy closed-toed shoes that can withstand some exposure to wetness.
- Wash hands often
- Remind your child to cover their coughs and sneezes with the inside of their elbows to reduce the spreading of germs.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 10 hours of sleep a night for school aged children. Please remember that Sunday night is a school night.
- All medications that are brought to school need to have a "medication authorization" form filled out in advance.
- Free immunization record booklets are available for keeping track of your child's immunizations at home.
