We know everyone is concerned about the H1N1 Flu going around. We will do our 
best with the help of the Morris County Health Dept to keep you up to date 
with the latest information surrounding this illness. Please see our policy 
re: Fever Free for 24 hours without use of OTC fever reducers. This would 
pertain to this illness, as of the latest update from Health Dept. Inform 
your MD if your child has underlying health issues or chronic illness, to 
determine the need for the flu shot when it becomes available.

Please Keep your child home if they are sick with symptoms of flu. Including 
cough, fever, sorethroat, stomache upset, and headache. Even if your child 
does not have a fever, but is feeling achey, and coughing, keep them at home. 
Please call your child's doctor to determine the course of treatment and 
medical recommendations. Help us prevent the spread of this virus by keeping 
sick children away from other healthy children. Children must be fever free 
for 24 hours before entering school and be able to remain in their academic 
classes.

Preventive measures: proper handwashing, good nutrition, and adequate rest. 
Staying away from others that are ill, will help prevent further spread.
We appreciate your cooperation in keeping our students safe and healthy.

As always, please call us with any concerns. We are always happy to help. 
Thanks, Mrs. Sikora and Mrs. Brancato

Important Reminders:

1. Ensure your child has had breakfast consisting of carbohydrate and protein
Many students will openly tell us that they have not eaten breakfast. Studies 
have shown that children that do not eat breakfast are more apt to be obese 
and preform below children that had a good breakfast.

2. Ensure proper rest and sleep. Students can not preform when they have not 
had adequate rest in either academics or sports. Having a "lights out" policy 
at home and keeping a regular schedule at bedtime will provide your child 
with the tools to succeed.

3. Lastly, any medications including OTC (like Tylenol, Motrin, Midol, 
Zyrtec) need an MD order in the school setting. We can not adminster these 
OTC meds wihout an MD order to do so. Children, also, may not self administer 
these in school or carry them. Forms are in the Health Office for your 
convenience and may be picked up to be filled out by MD. We encourage you to 
do this so we can best address your child's needs during the school year as 
needed.
