From the CLINIC:

During the past week we have noticed an increase in the number of children coming to the clinic with pinkeye or conjunctivitis. At this point, there are only a hand full of cases in each of the schools but, fromexperience, we know that this illness can spread very quickly. We would like to remind parents that theyshould not send their children to school if the white of the childs eyes are looking pink or if there is anyitching, swelling or discharge from the eye.

They should take their children to their own pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment and should only let the childrenreturn to school when the eyes are completely better or, preferably, when the doctor gives them clearance. Please askthe children to come to the school clinic on return to school for our clearance to return to class.

The school continues to clean all classrooms and common surfaces with a disinfectant solution at the end of everyschool day. We do, however, rely on the assistance of parents to ensure that we keep the infection rate down to anabsolute minimum.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in our efforts to ensure the safety and well being of the children.
