This is the time of year when we begin to see lot's of student's in the clinic with the common cold.  Some of the student's could have more then the common cold, they could have the Flu.  Please remember to talk to your doctor about whether your child should get the Flu shot.  Remember, it's better to be proactive than reactive.

Please make sure your child is appropriately dressed for the weother.  For the past several day's the temperature has been rather low.  Children are still coming to school dressed in summer attire.  Make sure your child comes to school dressed for the winter.  If they don't like to wear lot's of winter clothing, have them dresss in layers.

If you have any question's about the above information or about your child, please contact me at (703) 361-3185.

Thank you,
Mary Minter, R.N.
