As the weather changes, we are seeing more sick kiddos!
EEP wants to share these resources on two common illnesses in children: Croup & RSV.

RSV: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/chest-lungs/Pages/RSV-When-Its-More-Than-Just-a-Cold.aspx

If your child has symptoms of Croup, RSV, or Covid-19, including ANY type of cough, please keep them home from school and notify your teacher! Your teacher and your child's doctor can help you navigate how to get your little one feeling better and when it is safe to return to school.
