PE NEWS
We are beginning our health classes along with our physical education classes. Please look at your calendar your teacher has given you so you know where to meet each day for class. Be on time and prepared, have your work in your binder for health and a clean PE suit for class. Remember to eat properly, get enough sleep and exercise.
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AGAINST THE FLU
*Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
*Wash y0ur hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not available, alcohol-based hand cleansers are effective.
*Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
*Avoid close contact (about 6 feet) with sick people, including anyone in the household who is sick.
*Keep surfaces like bedside tables, kitchen counters and all hand held games wiped down with household disinfectant according to directions on the label.
*The best way to protect yourself from the flu is to get the flu vaccine each year.
DROP OFF / PICK UP
Parents please do not stop on any public roadway to drop off or pick up your students. All drop-offs and pick-ups need to be done in a designated area on school property. Only school buses are permitted to stop and pick up/drop off on public roads. Virginia traffic code 46.2-888 states that no one is to stop on any road unless it’s an emergency. Virginia traffic code 46.2-893 states only school buses are permitted to stop and pick up or drop off on public roads. Dropping your students off in a designated area will ensure that your students will be able to exit the vehicle safely. If you have any questions, please contact me.
