December 19, 2025 Lincoln 5-8 Family Updates

Health Update

 

We have seen an increase in flu cases in the school. We wanted to share some of the steps we can take to prevent further spread.  

If your child has vomited or is running a fever when medication is not given, please keep them home for at least 24 hours without symptoms before returning to school. 

Other tips:

Handwashing: encourage frequent and thorough handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating. Hand sanitizer is a good alternative when soap and water are not available.

Cough/Sneeze Etiquette: cough or sneeze into a tissue or the elbow, not their hands. Washing hands after using a tissue is also recommended

Limit Face Touching: remind students to avoid touching their eyes, nose, and mouth throughout the day because this is a primary way germs enter the body.

Staying Hydrated:  drinking plenty of fluids 

Cleaning surfaces: cleaning of high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, desks, shared supplies, and light switches, using disinfectant wipes
