As we continue on in the school year, there are many different concerns that you may have about childhood illnesses or other contagious things. Please remember that we do not share personal information about students with other students or parents in class or in the school. It is not the child's fault that they are sick or have a certain issue. Often times, the child and/or the parent may be embarrassed about what is happening.
As we continue on and support all children throughout the year, please guard against blanket comments about specific issues to children or parents. We have had multiple phone calls from parents who have very specific information about health issues happening in their classroom. If a message needs to be sent to families in a class or the school at large, those communications will come from the Health Office or the Main Office. If you feel that you want to say something to an entire group of students, please think about whether you could be violating a HIPPA issue. Brit, Brian and I can help you determine this if you are unsure.
As always, universal precautions like proper hand washing and keeping items on their own coat hooks are good practices to encourage and teach all year.
If you have questions or concerns, please stop down.
