Salt Creek School District 48

CHANGE: Preschool Screening on Friday 3/13 is Cancelled. Out of an abundance of caution and to protect the health and wellness of students, families, and the community, preschool screening is cancelled for the month of March. We will explore rescheduling this event at a later date. Please contact Salt Creek Primary School at 630-832-6122 with any questions.

As a precaution, all after school events have been cancelled for today, March 12th. Right at School will still provide childcare. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Cold and flu-like illnesses continue to be reported among the students and staff. Here are a few things to keep in mind to help prevent cold and flu like illnesses within your family. . Teach your children to wash their hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub. Cover up coughs or sneezes using the elbow, arm or sleeve instead of the hand when a tissue is unavailable. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands Teach your children not to share personal items like drinks, food or unwashed utensils Know the signs and symptoms of the flu. Symptoms of the flu include fever (100 degrees Fahrenheit, 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater), cough sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired. Some people may also vomit or have diarrhea. Please report any of the above symptoms to school. Keep sick children at home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have signs of fever (without using fever-reducing drugs). Keeping children with a fever at home will reduce the number of people who may get infected. Do not send children to school if they are sick. Any children who are determined to be sick while at school or contagious to other students will be sent home. For more information visit www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/children.htm

Thanks Northwestern Medicine for teaching us how to keep our brain safe while playing!
