A note from the Sick Bay

(A message from the School Nurse)

Staying well through winter

While sunny days are just around the corner, the cold weather is still keeping families at home with colds, flus and viral infections. In this issue, we'll share guidance to help families to make informed decisions about when their kids can return to childcare or school after an illness.

 

It's the time of year when germs are circulating through classrooms and childcare centres. 

One of the most common questions parents ask is, ‘when can I send my child back to school or childcare?’
