The Middleborough Public Schools, in partnership with our State and Local Public Health Departments, would like to share the following healthy reminders:

  • Practice frequent hand hygiene with soap and water or hand sanitizer.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, or if a tissue is not available, cover sneezes with an elbow
  • Open a window, even a few inches, to help circulate fresh air when this is an option.
  • Clean high-touching surfaces in your home frequently .
    • Please keep your child home from school if your student has:
    • A temperature of 100.1 F or higher during the previous 24 hours: Students are to be fever free without use of medication for 24 hours before returning to school
    • Vomiting or diarrhea: Students are to have no vomiting and no diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.
    • Signs or symptoms of flu/Influenza include body aches, chills, headache, fatigue.
  • If your student is ill, please keep your student home from school and please avoid social gatherings. This will help with recovery and reduce the chances of spreading illness to others.
  • Please contact your pediatrician or healthcare provider if your child needs medical care.
  • Please notify your School Nurse if your child tests positive for COVID19 or Influenza. This will help us assess and possibly detect illnesses in others sooner.
  • Please notify your school about any changes in any of your emergency contact phone numbers and/or emails so that we may reach you promptly if your student is ill and needs to be dismissed from school to recover at home.
  • We share your commitment to reducing any chances that children with a contagious illness may expose others to illness at school.
