HEALTHY  HABITS PREVENT  SPREADING  GERMS

• WASH  YOUR  HANDS  OFTEN with  soap  and  water  especially  after  coughing,  sneezing  or  blowing  your  nose.    Alcohol-based  hand  cleaners  are  also  effective.
• Avoid  touching  your  eyes,  nose  or  mouth  to  help  prevent  the  spread  of  viruses.
• Don’t  share  food,  utensils,  beverages  or  anything  that  might  be  contaminated  with  germs.
• Try  to  avoid  close  contact  with  sick  people.  
• Stay  home  when  sick,  especially  with  flu-like  symptoms  of  fever  and  cough.   Stay  home  for  at  least  24  hours  after  being  fever  free  without  the  use  of  fever  reducing  medicine.
• Cover  your  nose  and  mouth  with  a  tissue  when  you  cough  or  sneeze.   Throw  the  tissue  in  the  trash  and  wash  your  hands.
• Cough  and  sneeze  into  your  sleeve  or  elbow  instead  of  your  hands  if  you  don’t  have  a  tissue.
  
• Wear  a  mask  if  you’re  asked.  
• Clean  surfaces  that  may  be  contaminated  with  germs  using  household  disinfectant  cleaners.  
• Get  a  flu  shot  every  year  to  help  prevent  seasonal  flu.

As a reminder, the children go outside for recess everyday. Please help your child remember to bring warm clothing. Winter jackets, hats, mittens/gloves are a good idea.  When there is snow on the ground, boots and snow pants are required for play in the field.  Shoes are needed for inside school.  A sweater or sweatshirt is a good idea for cool temperatures in the classroom, too.
