It's that time of year again! Cases of the flu and other illnesses are on the rise, and the Marlboro Central School District would like to share these tips to help prevent the spread of viruses:
Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
Cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow, not your hands.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Don’t share utensils.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home if you are feeling ill.
Remember: If your child gets sick, they will need plenty of rest and lots of fluids. Please keep your child home from school until their symptoms subside or for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without the use of fever-control medicine. This helps prevent spreading illnesses to others.
If you are worried about your child or have any questions about their illness, contact their health care provider or their school nurse.
Thank you for helping to keep our schools safe and healthy!
