Happy February! Hopefully everyone is feeling ok, it seems like we’ve had quite a cold and flu season that just won’t quit. It’s really not too late for a flu vaccine if you haven’t yet.
The February edition of the APS Elementary School Nurses' Newsletter is here! Keep up to date on current illness trends, learn how to get food over break if you need it, and read about American Heart Month and Feeding Tube Awareness Week.
Please remember to call the attendance line at 781-316-3767 if your child is going to be absent. This ensures that the school gets the message (emails to teachers are ok too, but sometimes if teachers are absent, then we never get the message). We need to make sure each child is accounted for every day they are absent. Also, please let me know if your child is diagnosed with Flu, Covid, Strep or RSV (or anything else that might spread). Let me know if you need COVID test kits!
