As the number of flu, colds, and strep reports come in I wanted to take the time to thank you so much for being vigilant in keeping your children at home if they are showing symptoms. Thank you for washing water bottles, snack containers, jackets, lunchboxes, and backpacks. We are washing our hands often in class. The school has been spraying down all touched surfaces on a daily basis well before the students arrive. At my house as soon as we can get home we have been changing our clothes and putting them into the washer as to alleviate some of the germ transference. I hope everyone stays healthy this season!
