Staying Healthy During Cold & Flu Season

With the flu season in full force, here are some handy tips to keep viruses of all kinds from spreading not only through our school, but through your home as well. The flu virus spreads easily through the air with coughing and sneezing, and through touching things like doorknobs, desks, or toys and then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Everyone should wash their hands often. You can use soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. That is about as long as singing the "Happy Birthday" song 2 times. And an alcohol-based hand cleanser or sanitizer works well too. Put enough on your hands to make them all wet, then rub them together until dry. Teach your child to cover his mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. Show your child how to cough into the elbow or upper sleeve (not a hand) or use a tissue. Throw all tissues used for runny noses and sneezes in the trash right away. Wash dishes and utensils in hot, soapy water or the dishwasher. Don't let children share pacifiers, cups, spoons, forks, washcloths, or towels without washing. Never share toothbrushes. Teach your child to try not to touch her eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash doorknobs, desks, toilet handles, countertops, and even toys. Use a disinfectant wipe or a cloth with soap and hot water.
