Nurse Emma’s Corner

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Keeping learners healthy, both in and out of school, is important to their education. The flu season rapidly approaching and I would like to remind families about the Center for Disease Control (CDC)’s suggested ways to prevent the spread of the seasonal cold and flu virus.

These suggestions include:

  • Frequent Hand washing.
  • Cover your cough with your elbow or tissue.
  • Stay home if you are sick or have a fever.
  • Avoid touching your eye, nose, or mouth.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, or school, especially when someone is ill.
  • Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
  • Get the annual influenza vaccine.

The flu vaccine is readily available in the community from:

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Emma Wiest, RN, BSN
