From the Health Office:
It is that time of year when the flu and other winter ailments begin to take their toll on our students. As a reminder, students who have a fever or are vomiting should be kept home until they are symptom free for 24 hours. The attendance line is (609) 298-3900 extension 4060. In addition, please see the following links from the Center for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health for more information on the typical winter illnesses and how to best keep students healthy.
The Flu
• Common Cold
• Stomach Flu (also known as Viral Gastroenteritis)
Spring Sports Physicals:
Those students who plan on participating in a spring sport (softball, baseball, lacrosse, and track and field) must have their physical and permission forms turned in and approved in order to try out and participate on the various teams. The sports packet for spring sports is attached to this e-mail. Please note that the packet deadline is February 2nd. Those submitting it after this date may be putting themselves at risk of missing tryouts and practices for spring sports.
