FLU FACTSThe flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused byinfluenza virus that can infect the nose, throat, and lungs.

It can cause mild to severe illness.Signs and symptoms: Fever (not every one with the flu has fever) Cough Sore Throat Runny or stuffy nose Muscle or body aches Headaches Fatigue Some people have vomiting and diarrhea (more

common in children than adults).

How Flu Spreads: Most experts believe that mainlydroplets made when people with the flu cough, sneeze or

talk spread the flu. Less often a person might also get fluby touching a surface or object that has Flu virus on itthen touching their own mouth eyes or possibly nose.

Period of Contagiousness: 1 day before symptomsdevelop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick.

Complications of Flu: Bacterial pneumonia, earinfections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worseningof chronic medical conditions.

Prevention of seasonal flu: Get vaccinated Cover mouth when coughing (cough in elbow) Wash hands frequently If you are sick stay home to prevent

For more information go to http:// www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm

NOON DUTY NEEDEDIf you enjoy working with children and areinterested in a noon duty position supervisingour students from 11:35 to 12:35 daily duringlunch time, please contact the school office at408-252-5414 ext. 103. The position pays$8.15 per hour.

SCHOOL SPIRIT - PAJAMA DAYGarden Gates Student Council issponsoring Pajama Day tomorrow,December 16th. Students can come toschool in pajama attire such as longsleeve pajama tops and bottoms orsweats. They may also bring slippers towear in the classroom if approved by theirteacher, but they must also bring theirshoes. We are looking for a comfortableand cozy day!

PHONE NUMBER?Do Your Children Know Their Home PhoneNumbers?... Almost every afternoon, students comeinto the office to call home, but cant do it without ourhelp because they dont know a phone number tocontact a parent or care giver. Knowing a phonenumber to contact a family member is a life skill that allour students should have. It will make them feel moreindependent, and you will feel more confident that theycan reach you in an emergency. For those too young toremember multiple numbers, we suggest that you writedown important phone numbers and have your childkeep them in his/her backpack for easy access.

COLD WEATHER REMINDERNow that the weather is getting colder, please send yourchild to school with a jacket, sweatshirt, or extra layer ofclothing. Whether at physical education, recess, or lunch,students have outdoor activities unless it is unusuallycold, windy, or rainy. Please remember to label all

jackets, umbrellas, hats etc. This will enable items to bereturned in case of loss.

REMINDERS:For the protection of students, please remember thatstudents are not to be on the campus before 7:45 a.m.There is no adult supervision until 7:45 a.m.Please do not congregate outside of the classroomswhile school is still in session. This is very disruptive toboth the teacher and the students and could be adistraction from valuable learning time.Every Tuesday is early dismissal day. Please rememberthat all a.m. Kindergarten students are dismissed at 11:10a.m. and all p.m. Kindergarten students along withstudents in grades 1-5 are dismissed at 1:30. Pleaseremember to pick up your children promptly.
