Red Mill Health Office

Anne Warrington R.N.

Welcome to the Red Mill Elementary School Health Office Website. Healthy children learn better and together we can work to ensure that goal.

The cold/virus/flu season is upon us. Please keep your child home if they vomit the night before or the morning of the school day. This applies to any intestinal/diarrhea symptoms as well. Also, if your child has a fever, keep him/her home until fever free for 24 hours.

The CDC suggests, and we encourage the children, to cough/sneeze into their sleeves instead of their hands.Did you know that 80% of common infections are spread directly by touching?

As always, please stress proper handwashing to cut down on spreading those germs!

Remember, the students go out every day throughout the winter unless the temperature dips below twenty degrees and/or the wind chill makes it unsafe to be outside. Send your child with warm coats, hats, mittens and boots.

Happy, Healthy New Year!
