Hi Families.
Just to give you a heads up, there seems to be a lot of cases of pink eye going through the school - and our class - right now.
The symptoms are
Redness in one or both eyes.
Itchiness in one or both eyes.
A gritty feeling in one or both eyes.
A discharge in one or both eyes that forms a crust during the night that may prevent your eye or eyes from opening in the morning.
More tears than usual
How it spreads
Close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
The air by coughing and sneezing
Touching an object or surface with germs on it, then touching your eyes before washing your hands
We are doing our best to wash our hands several times a day and encouraging the children to cough/sneeze into their elbows.
If your child is showing symptoms of pink eye, please let us know and keep them home so that it doesn't spread to others. Let's hope it passes through quickly.
Thanks!
