Week of Nov.15th, 2010

Just to keep parents current on what is going around the BREC; We are still seeing students out with a stomach bug (vomiting/diarrhea) some with fevers, others without. Lasts 24-48 hours.

Currently in 1rst grade we have quite a few cases of pinkeye (conjunctivitis). Extremely contagious so please if your child awakens or presents with crusty red eye(s) complaining of itchy-scratchiness do address this quickly as it will spread through your home quickly. I cannot stress enough the need for excellent handwashing when dealing with this not to mention any illnesses this winter.

Making certain your children are eating "healthy foods" and getting 7-8 hours of solid sleep are equally essential in maintaining good health during the school year.

Wishing you all good health,

Nurse Donna
