Illness Guidelines
We have begun to see an increased number of ill children at school. In order to help prevent the spread of communicable diseases, we'd like to remind you of the following guidelines:
Keep your child home if any one of the following occurs:
Your child should look and behave like him/herself for 24-48 hours before returning to school. Why???
Remember- hand washing is the most effective means of preventing the spread of communicable diseases! Remind your children to wash their hands frequently and cover their nose and mouths when coughing or sneezing.
Please call the health office with any questions or concerns you have regarding your child's health needs.

The Nebraska influenza surveillance system is a collaborative effort between DHHS and its many partners in the state including, local health departments, public health and clinical laboratories, vital statistics offices, healthcare providers, clinics and emergency departments. Indicators from Nebraska’s influenza surveillance systems (laboratory testing, sentinel provider visits, influenza hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and school absences due to illness) showed that flu and RSV activity continues to increase. Currently NE is at the "REGIONAL" influenza activity level. Hand washing is one of the most important things to do to prevent influenza.
