23.  The Northridge Flu Clinic will be the morning of Monday, November 16
 As you know, flu can be easily spread from person to person. Flu season is here!!! Here are a few
things that you can do to help the spread of the flu:
 Be aware of flu symptoms: fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, muscle
aches, runny or stuffy nose, and some may exhibit stomach symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,
and/or diarrhea. These symptoms will last for several days.
 Teach your children to wash their hands often with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand
rub.
 Teach your children not to share personal items like drinks, food, or unwashed utensils, and
to cover their coughs and sneezes with tissues. Covering up their coughs or sneezes using the
elbow, arm, or sleeve instead of the hand when a tissue is unavailable.
 Keep sick children at home for at least 7 days and for 24 hours after they no longer have fever
or do not 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. Siblings of infected students should
be monitored very closely for flu-like symptoms.
 Do not send children to school if they are sick. Children who are sick will be sent home.
 Please be aware that extra-curricular activities (sports, band, choir, etc.) are all close contact
activities and therefore a potential source for the spread of infection/illness.
