"Stomach flu" resulted in an increase in absence yesterday. Generally it has been short-lived; about 24 hrs. Complaints are standard symptoms including stomachache, nausea, headache, and with most, no fever. To help stay healthy, remind your children to wash their hands frequently, and try their best to keep their hands away from their nose, eyes, and mouth. We continue to use Colorox wipes to desks and doorknobs frequently. It would also be a great time to wipe down cell phones as well.

As posted under the MS and HS Illness Update, Influenza is circulating throughout Iowa. We currently do not have reports of positive Influenza at the MS.

Please keep your children home if they are ill with fever and/or vomiting, until free of fever and/or vomiting for 24hrs (without tylenol or ibuprofen).

Stay healthy!
