A few tips to help keep from spreading germs during this cold and flu season. Washing your hands often, cover coughs/sneezes, and get plenty of rest. Before heading back to school on Tuesday wash your child’s jackets, backpacks, shoes, etc and help us fight off the flu and other germs. You can also wipe down their lunch boxes, binders, etc with disinfectant wipes. Help us keep colds and flu out of our school. #ExcellenceIsACS
