Please be aware that now we have seen a variety of illnesses being shared throughout our school. Strep throat, gastrointestinal illness, and pneumonia have been circulating. This is not uncommon for this time of year. We also have confirmed cases of the flu, this tends to peak in February and March. Please remember our school guidelines for returning to school after being ill. Please refer to the nurse's notes section on the Oak Bluffs School website.
Wash hands frequently/Always wash after using the bathroom, before you eat, after you sneeze, cough into your hands, or blow your nose. Hand sanitizers are ok, but they don't get rid of all germs. Washing hands is the best method.
Cough/Sneeze into your elbow. Germs from coughs and sneezing can travel quite a distance and can linger in the air.
Keep your hands away from your face, unless they have been recently washed.
Follow a regular sleep schedule. Getting regular sleep helps our immune system.
Eat a consistent healthy diet. Eating well also helps our immune system.
It is still not too late to get a flu shot! Call your Pediatrician or Family Practitioner today!
