Principal’s Message

IS IT A COLD or THE FLU? The Flu also known as influenza is a contagious respiratory illness. The flu is different from the common

cold. Flu symptoms come on suddenly and may include: fever, headache, general aches and pains, �red-

ness, runny or stuffy nose, cough and sore throat. Symptoms of a cold are usually milder and generally do

not result in serious health problems.

Did you know:

The flu can be spread easily from person to person through coughing, sneezing, or talking

The spread of the flu can be through direct contact with objects contaminated by the influenza virus

The flu is a common infec�on of the airways and lungs that spreads rapidly

The influenza vaccine is FREE for children up

to 18 years of age at the pharmacy, health

clinic or doctors office

Tips to Remember:

Wash your hands frequently

Regular cleaning of doorknobs, telephones,

and keyboards can help

Cover up when you cough or sneeze

If you are sick, stay home!

Vaccinaons Protect Your Child Diseases that were once common in childhood are now rare because of vaccines. Many of these

diseases caused severe illness and some-mes death in children. Vaccina-ons given to infants, chil-

dren and teens protect them against many of these serious illnesses. These vaccines can be given by

your doctor, nurse prac--oner or through Public Health clinics.

In New Brunswick, parents are required to provide schools with an updated immuniza�on record for

their child.

F If your child is star�ng kindergarten or just entering school in New Brunswick, please provide the

school with a copy of their immuniza�on record.

F If you are not sure if your child has received all their vaccines or if you need a record of your child’s

vaccina�ons, contact your doctor, nurse prac��oner or local Public Health Office.

F Your child’s record should show proof of all their vaccina�ons required for their age, including the

preschool booster.

The influenza vaccine is also free of charge to all children and youth between 6 months and 18 years of

age. The flu vaccine is available every year star�ng during the month of October. Flu can be a serious

infec�on for children. Please contact your health care provider to ask about the flu vaccine for your

child and family.

Public Health can answer ques�ons that parents may have. The Public Health Office can be reached in

Fredericton and Oromocto area at 453-5200 and in Woodstock at 1-888-829-6444 (toll-free).

Thank You to everyone who participated in our potato fundraiser which we were

able to do with APD. We are very pleased with the sales and the support. Mad-

they will have a pizza party to celebrate. The top seller was Izzy Saulis and the

runner up was Ben Dube. Sawyer Smith, Cali Aubin, Brennen Marshall, Brooke

McDougall and Fallon MacIntosh all tied for third place.

If you have not paid your child’s student fee please make arrangements with

the office to do so as soon as possible
