**Stay Healthy During Flu Season! đđĄī¸**
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Flu season is upon us, and we want to keep our students and community healthy! Here are some simple tips:
â
**Wash hands frequently** with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
â
**Cover coughs and sneezes** with a tissue or elbow, not hands.
â
**Stay home if feeling sick** to prevent spreading illness.
â
**Sanitize frequently touched surfaces** like doorknobs, keyboards, and phones.
â
**Get a flu vaccine** for an added layer of protection.
Together, we can keep our school a safe and healthy place for everyone! đ
