Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and the Vaccines that Prevent Them
Measles Update: Measles is a disease that causes fever, cough, runny nose, eye irritation, and a rash. It can cause more serious problems such as lung, ear, and brain infections, and in rare cases, death. It is extremely contagious and can live in the air for several hours in a location where an infected person has been. Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect your child from measles.
Please review your child's shot record to ensure they are up-to-date with required immunizations.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASES:
A communicable disease is an illness caused by infectious agents or toxins transmitted from an infected person, animal, or object to another susceptible person. Transmission can be person-to-person or through the environment. After a child has had a communicable disease
(e.g. chickenpox, conjunctivitis [pink eye], hand foot and mouth disease, influenza, scabies, scarlet fever, strep throat, tinea [ringworm], etc), it is necessary that parents obtain a slip from their doctor, stating that it is safe for the child to return to school.
