From our school nurse and administration:
There has been a steady increase in illnesses/absences among the students of Ada Schools. Respiratory symptoms of coughing, chest congestion, sore throat, runny nose and sneezing are among our students as well as the flu-like symptoms of fever, chills, headache and nausea. The spread of these airborne viruses can be controlled with prompt diagnosis and effective preventative measures.
A child needs to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Any child placed on antibiotics is contagious to his peers until the first full day of medication has been administered.
