Guide on childhood
illness coming your way
The Departments of Education and Health
have collaborated to purchase a valuable new resource for all school
buildings. It’s a guide called “Managing Infectious Diseases in Child Care and
Schools.”
The guide will assist out-of-home
caregivers to prevent, identify and respond to the most common childhood
infectious diseases. Written in concise, non-technical language and spiral
bound for easy use, the handbook provides guidelines for managing childhood
illness and communicating with health care professionals.
A guide will be mailed to
all school buildings within the next few weeks. When received, it should be
placed in the hands of whoever will most benefit from its use (e.g., school
nurse, office staff, etc.).
