Spreading Germs

• If you have a sore, do not pick the scab. If
  something is bleeding, you must have it covered
  with a bandaide.
• Do not pick your nose. If you blow your nose into
  a tissue, please throw the tissue away.
• Do not touch your mouth and face. This can create
  acne and get you sick.
• Try to clean off surfaces that you touch.

Skin Care

• At the ages of 10-14, students often develop some
  sort of acne. Usually, just washing with soap and
  warm water every night is enough. If this does
  not seem to take care of the problem, there are
  prescription and over-the-counter
  medications/creams you can try.

Clothing

• Only wear clean clothes! Pride yourself on
  looking your best every day!
• Winter coats can get dirty very easilyremember
  to wash your coat when it starts looking dingy.
• Lay out your hats and gloves so they can dry out.
  Wash these items when you wash your coat.
• Snow boots need to air out as well. Spray them
  with Febreeze, if they become smelly!
• I like to say, Smell good, feel good!!

Hair Care

• Brush or comb your hair daily.
• Make sure to get out all tangles or hair will
  become matted.
• Remember to never share a hairbrush with
  anyoneeven a family member. Lice can be easily
  spread from one head to another. You may not even
  know you have it!

LICE

• I know this seems like a gross or yucky topic,
  but it is one that we must learn more about so
  that we can avoid it. We also must know how to
  treat it because it is very contagious.
• If you have head lice you MUST use a special
  shampoo called RID or NIX. You can purchase this
  at the store. If it is too expensive for your
  family, the school can buy it for you.
• You should not do overnights with friends until
  the lice are totally gone. Someone at the school
  will have to check your hair with a special light
  when you come back before you can go back into
  the classroom. We have to make sure they are all
  gone.
