      • Given the current closure of the cafeteria, all classrooms are NUT FREE! Be sure to check the ingredient list on the snacks and lunch items before your child brings them to school. Nurse Kristy prepared a quiz to help prepare safe food items at home. This quiz is available here for our remote students as a resource, and will go home in paper form for all hybrid students.

      handwashing tips

      Make note:

       

      • Germs are everywhere. Make handwashing with soap and water a healthy habit to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. https://go.usa.gov/xV9TXexternal icon #KeepHandsClean  
      • Your hands carry germs you can’t see. Take the time to wash your hands for 20 seconds during key times to stay healthy. https://go.usa.gov/xV9Dcexternal icon #KeepHandsClean  

       

       

      Health Information Topic: Head Lice

      Lice

       

      Head lice are tiny bugs the size of sesame seeds which attach to the hair. They are most common in preschool and elementary school children. They are crawling insects and cannot jump or fly. They may be spread through head to head contact, common in the Waverly age group. Regular head checks of your child are the most valuable way to spot head lice before they multiply or infest. Remember to be discreet if found, to avoid anxiety for the child. We encourage you to speak with your healthcare provider for guidance on treatment and reach out to Nurse Kristy for support.

       

      Review this 3 minute podcast from CDC regarding head lice.
