Greetings from East York Nurse’s Office! The nurses here at ‘The Best Place on Earth’, strive to promote a safe and healthy environment for all students and staff. You can help by following these guidelines to help prevent the spread of illness and infection at East York. 

From the nurses office…….

What is influenza?

Influenza (also called the "flu") is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness. Influenza is different from a cold. Influenza usually comes on suddenly and may include these symptoms-fever, headache, tiredness (can be extreme), dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, and body aches.

Get your flu shot! It’s your best protection against the flu. Check with your healthcare provider or CDC flu finder for the closest place to get your flu shot.

Remind your student to follow the 3 ‘W’ rules!

• Wash your hands often-when entering and exiting the building
• Wear your mask-everyday, on the bus, in the classroom & hallway   
• Watch your distance-remain 6 feet away from others

Important!! Remember to do your Daily Screening Check BEFORE coming to school!

Thanks for keeping everyone safe! The East York Nurses
