Cold and Flu Season

In general, school can be especially full of germs, and cold and flu season brings all of those germs in one place!

We always want your children to be feeling well, but when your child is sick sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between a common cold and the flu.   Is it a cold or the flu?  Click here for the cold and flu definitions.

It can be hard to keep your children in school during this time of year, but remember that the more absences your child has, the more they become at risk academically. Please follow the guideline for when to keep our child home from school.
