Whoop, There it is!

It is true. We do have a confirmed case of whooping cough from a student in our classroom. By this time all of you should have received a call from a nurse and been told what to do. Much of it is precautionary, but with the holidays around the corner... it's just best to play it safe.

We washed hands at least six times today and discussed proper cough/sneezing protocol. If you would like additional information on Whooping Cough click HERE. (I just googled "whooping cough" and it was one of the first to come up. You may wish to investigate more.) Please, if your child is running a fever, or exhibiting any symptoms, keep them home!

Also, a parent had mentioned some alternative remedies. Click Here for more information about those. Of course, in no way, shape, or form do I claim to be a doctor, so it is best to go get checked from a professional.
