Why is My Child Sick? School can be a germ farm. Yes, that sounds terrible but hear me out. Students do not always cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze. They do not spend 20 seconds washing their hands. Here are a few pointers to help: ● Wash hands!!!! ● Turn on the warm water. ● Apply soap. ● While scrubbing and making bubbles, sing the "ABC" song or "Happy Birthday" (15 – 20 seconds). ● Rinse hands. ● Dry hands, if in a public bathroom turn off water with a paper towel and open door with a paper towel. ● Do not cough or sneeze into your hand—that only spreads germs unless you can immediately wash your hands. Instead, use a tissue or the crook of your elbow/arm, make sure this is tight. ● Do not share silverware, cups, toothbrushes or any other personal items. ● Brush your teeth at least twice a day (morning and just before bed) and get new toothbrushes as illness resolves. ● Stay home and away from others if you are sick. ● Do NOT give aspirin (salicylate) products due to the direct link to Reye's syndrome. ● Clean items (with Clorox Wipes, Lysol, or other disinfectant) the ill person touches such as: ● Table tops ● Counters ● Telephone ● TV remote ● Door knobs ● Soap Dispenser Please talk and practice with your children about not spreading germs. Practice good hygiene habits with your family. Eat healthy—lots of fruits and vegetables and drink water. Illness guidelines: Fort Osage School District has the following guidelines to help stop the spread of illness. Please help us! 1. Students should be fever, vomiting, or diarrhea FREE for 24 hours before returning to school. This includes no fever-reducing or anti-diarrhea medication taken for 24 hours. (Do NOT give aspirin products) 2. Students should remain home for 24 hours after taking the FIRST does of antibiotic for an infection. Please call your child's school if he/she is going to absent. We need to know: ● Reason for absence ● Teacher/Grade ● How you would like to get school work (pick it up or send with a particular student)?
