Principal News
Just a heads up about lunchtime at school. I want to ensure that parents know they are welcome to eat lunch with their child whenever they can. You can check with them, the teacher, or the office to see what time they eat. Students really enjoy having their parents at lunch. You sit with your child and their friends. You may bring your own meal and hot lunches are also available for adults.
We have had a significant amount of absences in the past few days from students who are sick with flu-like illness (fever, cough, sore throat and body aches). Washington State Department of Health has reported elevated cases of influenza throughout the state, including here in King County. Although there has been some confirmed flu diagnosis with our students, not all illnesses are flu related. However, below is a general guideline on when to keep your child at home.
Appearance/Behavior- unusually tired, pale, no appetite, hard to wake, or confused.
Fever- temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees C) or higher. Students need to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school WITHOUT medications to reduce the fever.
Bad Could and/or Cough- Students need to be able to cover their cough to be at school. If a cough or cold persists for more than 2 weeks, the student may need to be seen by a health care provider.
Diarrhea- 2 or more watery stools in 24 hours, especially if the student acts or looks ill. Students should stay home for 24 hours after the last watery stool.
Vomiting- vomiting 2 or more times in 24 hours. Student should stay home for 24 hours after the last time they vomited.
Keeping ill students at home, encouraging frequent hand washing, and covering coughs protects everyone, including those with fragile immune systems. Although the return to school guideline for students with a fever is 24- hour fever free without the use of medications, if students have flu-like illness, it is best to keep them home until they are better and able to participate fully in class.

Thank you for your support to keep students safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
School Nurse
