Note from the Nurse: 

We would like to inform you that we have a confirmed case of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease (HFMD) at ISY. HFMD is a viral illness and is not uncommon, especially in young children. Please be aware that a child can be infected more than once. The student who is ill is home and receiving treatment from a family physician until symptoms are resolved.

If your child has a fever or is not feeling well, has a sore throat, mouth sores and/or blisters/ rashes on hands and/or feet, or buttocks, he/she should not be sent to school. Please consult with your family physician as soon as symptoms are noted, and stay at home until symptoms end and your family physician releases the child to attend school. Students who have symptoms or diagnosis of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease should stay home at least a week and avoid crowded places (supermarkets, malls, etc.) to avoid spreading HFMD to others in the community.

If your child is diagnosed with HFMD, please kindly 1. inform the school clinic. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, 2. a parent must accompany the student when he/she returns to campus, and 3. must provide ISY Medical Clinic with a written clearance from your primary physician. 4. Please bring the written note to Medical Clinic before going to the classroom.
