THIS WEEK
Weekly Nurse Notes
Hello Sussex Montessori Families and Friends!
As we move into Fall, I would like to encourage everyone to get their flu shot. The flu shot is available at many of our local pharmacies and at your primary care office. It is usually covered by your insurance at no cost to you. This is one more way we can help keep our school community safe and healthy during this pandemic. Visit: flu.delaware.gov for more information.
Halloween is also fast approaching! Good oral hygiene is super important every day, but especially when our children are consuming more sugary treats. Make sure to keep brushing their teeth at least twice a day and to floss regularly as well.
Continue to encourage proper mask wearing with your children. Make sure they keep their nose and mouths covered to keep everyone healthy and safe.
