Connally Independent School District
Happy Monday! Welcome back to another fabulous week!
Today, students will be coming home with an envelope indicating whether or not they will be required to come to Intervention Fridays. Please review and sign the letter and return it to your child's teacher. It is vital that we know transportation for your students for these Fridays.
The peak of the cold and flu season is upon us. To prevent widespread flu in the school, we recommend that your child stay home from school if experiencing flu or cold symptoms.
To decide whether or not to send your child to school, please consider the following guidelines:
Monitor your child for any of the following symptoms:
Very stuffy or runny nose and/or cough
Mild sore throat (no fever, no known exposure to strep)
Headache
Mild stomach ache
Definitely keep your child at home for treatment and observation if they have any of these symptoms:
Fever (greater than 100 degrees by mouth--your child may return to school only after their temperature has been consistently below 100 degrees by mouth for a minimum of 24 hours without the use of medication)
Vomiting (even once)
Diarrhea
Chills and
fatigue with discomfort, weakness, or muscle aches
Frequent congested (wet) or croupy cough
To help prevent the flu and other colds, teach your children good hygiene habits:
Wash hands frequently with soap and use hand sanitizer when they do not have access to a sink to wash their hands
Do not touch eyes, nose, or mouth
Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing
Use a tissue to blow their nose followed by washing hands after throwing it away
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Colds are the most contagious during the first 48 hours. A child who has a fever should remain at home until "fever free" for a minimum of 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication.
We love celebrating all of our students and staff who go above and beyond to set and uphold the Cadet Standard every single week!
