Cold and Flu Season

January 17, 2018 By Y3K

Please keep your child home from school if they have:

  • A fever of 100 degrees or more in the past 24 hours
  • A diagnosis of a communicable disease
  • A cold in the active stages: coughing, running nose, and sneezing
  • A sore throat and/or swollen neck glands
  • An undiagnosed rash or skin eruption
  • Vomiting or diarrhea during the past 24 hours
  • Acute pain that requires relief by narcotic medication

If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced.

Strep Throat, Stay Home!

January 13, 2018 By Y3K

It is currently cold and flu season throughout the country. We would like to remind you of an example of when your child should be kept home from school. If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced. Colds and flu can spread so easily, so it’s important that parents take precautions to prevent others from catching it.

If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, 24 hours of antibiotic therapy is required before returning to school. Besides harming everyone else with these viruses, respiratory infections can trigger an asthma attack in certain susceptible children. We need to prevent these asthma attacks so keeping your student home from school can help. Parents need to be careful with their children. If they seem unwell, it’s probably better to keep them at home. This will keep everyone safe.

Y3K Tutor In Your Home Health Tip #4: Stomach Bug

January 20, 2017 By Y3K

Vomiting and/or diarrhea (stomach bug) are often transmitted via a fecal/oral route. This means virus is shed in the stool, gets on hands and then enters the body through the mouth. Thorough aggressive hand washing after using the bathroom helps prevent this type of illness.

Germs that make us sick attach to our hands as we touch exposed surfaces. To prevent putting these germs into our bodies, we need to not only wash our hands, but wash them the correctly. Lather up using warm water and soap and rub your hands aggressively for at least 20 seconds. Then rinse with water.
