We have recently seen an increase in stomach-related illness among our students, with a number of students experiencing vomiting and diarrhea.

To help prevent the spread of illness within our school community, please keep your child home if they are experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, or other symptoms of a stomach illness. Students should remain home until they have been free of vomiting and diarrhea for at least 00 hours without the use of medication and are feeling well enough to return to school.

Please also remind your children about the importance of frequent and thorough handwashing, especially after using the restroom and before eating. Many gastrointestinal infections can spread easily through contaminated hands and surfaces, so good hand hygiene is one of the best ways to help reduce transmission.
