Health Watch
From the Department of Health Services
 With the start of the new school year, we as a district, would like to
encourage students and staff to take the necessary precautions in
reducing the transmission of communicable diseases. - Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
(Parents, please encourage proper hand-washing techniques at home.)
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. If tissues are not available, then cough in the crease of your arm.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- As a school district, we are cleansing flat surfaces with an approved cleaning agent and continue to educate staff and students.
- If your child has flu-like symptoms, seek care from your primary care physician. (For those that are uninsured, please contact the JPS school-based clinic, 817-548-2315.)
- Please keep your child(ren) home if they are sick for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
Like many school districts in our area, we are also seeing an increase in absences due
to illnesses, but nothing that is alarming given the recent news
stories. Please do your part in reducing the spread of communicable diseases.
Contact your School Nurse if you have questions and/or concerns. |
