Please do not send medication to school with your child, the nurse is the only person to dispense medication to your child.

  Strep Throat is  in several classrooms.
Parents:
1) Watch your child for signs of a sore throat and other signs of strep (headache, fever, stomachache, vomiting, swollen and tender neck glands).
2) Strep Throat is a sore throat caused by bacteria that are passed around through nose and mouth droplets. It is very common in children. Most sore throats, however are caused by viruses and are not treated with antibiotics.
3) Treatment with antibiotics not only treats your child but  reduces spread of infection to other members of your family and  other children.
4)Children with strep infections may return to school after taking medication for a least 24 hours and are fever free.
5) As always to prevent the spread of infection wash your hands after wiping noses and before eating or preparing food. Do not allow children to share food, cups, spoons or toys that are put into the mouth.
6) Sleep, nutrition and hygiene play a very big part in prevention and should be stressed at home and in school.
