Letter from Children's Ministry regarding illness

Dear parents,

The cold and flu season is starting earlier this year. We are all concerned about the flu virus. I want to reassure you that our children’s ministry team is being diligent to do our part to prevent it from spreading, as well as any other illness. We are committed to keeping the room sanitary and avoiding cross contamination during all programs. We disinfect all toys, tables, mats, etc. in our children's area after each event and between Sunday services.

I do want to remind you of our "wellness policy" which we will continue to enforce at all times. We ask that you not bring a child to childcare or Sunday services who appears ill. Children with the following conditions are not allowed in the classroom:
- Fever (above 100) within the last 24 hours
- If they have been on antibiotics less than 24 hours or if symptoms are still present
- Any congestion, runny nose, coughing or sneezing not related to allergies.

- Common cold (yellow/green discharge from nose) from onset through one week
- Sore throat, coughing or croup
- Any skin infections/rashes not related to allergies
- Any discharge from the eyes
- Any infections or contagious disease
- Any diarrhea or vomiting within the last 24 hours

We will page parents to pick up a child who shows any of the above conditions.

Please help us protect other children by adhering to this policy.
