Bits and Pieces
From the Nurse
No one likes to be sick. Everywhere there are record high numbers of the influenza virus. The school policy is for a student to remain free from fever (100.8 or higher) for 24 hours without fever- reducing agents. The only way to stop the spread of the flu is to keep yourself and others home when sick. We encourage parents to read the article below.
