This week on the District News Minute find out why some teachers spent their summer doing research projects, learn what teachers and students think of new curriculum adopted in 2015-16 and get the latest on how summer school is helping high school students reach their goals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get a seasonal flu vaccine. Vaccination is especially important for children younger than 5 years of age and children of any age with a long-term health condition like asthma, diabetes and heart disease. Students should visit with their primary health care provider regarding getting the vaccine.
In addition to seasonal flu vaccinations, the District is asking parents/guardians to remind their children about basic prevention efforts. We can reduce the spread of all illnesses by practicing proper hygiene, such as:
* Covering the nose and mouth with tissue when coughing or sneezing;
* Washing hands frequently with soap and warm water, or
* Using hand sanitizer, if soap and water are not available.
Current guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advise that students who exhibit flu-like symptoms - including a fever of 100 degrees or more, with a cough or sore throat - should stay home from school for at least 24 hours after they are fever-free, without the use of fever-reducing medication.
Thank you for partnering with the Sioux Falls Public Schools to keep our classrooms healthy.
