___________________________________________________________________________________
Illnesses are most contagious right before and during a fever. They spread easily to others.
FEVER is defined as having a temperature of 100 or higher (American Academy of Pediatrics).
Oak Hills Local School District has a policy that a student must be free of a fever (100) and without the use of fever reducing medicines for 24 hours BEFORE they can return to school. Students must also be 24 hours vomit free BEFORE returning to school. This Policy protects everyone in the building from spreading illness and preventing others from getting sick.
Since the return of school leads to an increase in illnesses. We are asking each parent to assess your child each morning before school. IF they are ill please keep them home.
- Take their temperature
- Monitor for symptoms such as:
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathingFever or chillsFatigueMuscle or body achesHeadacheNew loss of taste or smellSore throatCongestion or runny noseNausea or vomitingDiarrheaIllness numbers will increase as the students return to school. We know this is challenging since Covid symptoms are so similar to other colds and viruses. We all need to work together to keep the spread of Covid 19 and other contagious illnesses down as we return to school.Thanks for your support.
Ways to prevent the spread of germs:
1. Wash hands vigorously with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer frequently
( if a sink is not available), especially after coughing, sneezing or rubbing your nose.
2. Encourage coughing into your elbow or cover your cough.
3. Clean frequently touched surfaces and shared items daily. Keep -cleaning supplies out of reach of children.
