Since we've been on "Pause", we've been focusing on Staff Development.
We've participated in so many, many webinars and zoom meetings (too numerous to list).
We utilize our social media outlets to provide you current, relevant information.
You can reach us through email, text, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
We miss all of the students!
We hope to be able to schedule visits into Health Classrooms for this Fall.
Stay Safe! - We hope to see you soon!
We're all in this together.

August 2020

August is National Immunization Awareness Month Infections that are prevented by preteen vaccines, like HPV, can lead to serious health problems later in life. The immunization schedule is designed to provide immunity early in life, before children are likely to be exposed to serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. View the CDC's parent-friendly immunization schedule to see which vaccines your children need, whether they are babies or teenagers: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child-shell-easyread.html |

August is also National Breastfeeding Month! Breastfeeding can lead to a healthier life for children by providing protection against many common infections and nutritionally balanced meals. It can even lower the risk of allergies, asthma and diabetes later in life. We often discuss breastfeeding as a transmission route for HIV. Yes, it is possible to transmit HIV through pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Therefore, it is recommended for HIV positive individuals to avoid breastfeeding altogether. Along with testing and treatment, this recommendation has led to a significant decrease in perinatal acquired HIV in the United States. |
