Bandage Banter with Nurse Kenzie

What’s going around at Earhart?

We have been seeing an increase in respiratory illnesses like influenza and pneumonia for the past few weeks and this is expected to increase over the holiday breaks. The symptoms of many respiratory viruses share common symptoms, like coughing, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, fever, and chills. Other symptoms include fatigue (tiredness), decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and muscle or body aches.

Please remember to stay home if you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea and remain home until these symptoms have resolved for 24 hours after using any fever reducing medicine.

If you would like to send over the counter medication/cough drops with your student please contact the office or me(Nurse Kenzie) and we can discuss the protocol. All over the counter medication including cough drops need to stay in the health room during the school day. 

Mrs. Benteman's Corner

This month’s focus is Empathy.
One way to think about
Empathy is “understanding and connecting with other people’s feelings.” Empathy is a practice that can help us grow strong relationships.

Conversation Starters:
●What does Empathy
look like to you?

● Is it hard for you to
share how you feel
with others? Why or
why not?

A message from the office

Just a few reminders as we enter the end of the year!

Please make sure you are calling or emailing the office and or teachers with any transportation changes. This helps keep dismissal safe for everyone. Please make all transportation changes before or NO LATER than 3:30.

If your student will be absent, please email or call the office to have the absence excused.

We are going to implement new process for entering the building during parties and events! To keep our students, staff, and building safe we will require everyone to sign up prior to the event. We will be sending more information on this soon!
