Know When Sick is Too Sick for School: Resources and Support for Families

Let's team up to keep our students healthy during the Cold and Flu Season. Alberta Health Services (AHS) recommends:

• Practicing good hygiene habits daily can help keep children healthy. 
• If a child feels unwell, they should rest and recover at home to help prevent the spread of illness to a community. 
• Illness symptoms include fever, cough, headache, extreme tiredness, upset stomach and diarrhea.
