Oh boy! Here we go for another round of sickness in school and Haven is no exception! We've been having kids stay home due to illness and we certainly appreciate everyone's mindfulness about excluding your kids from public programs.

To help with deciding or navigating this season, here's a chart of what the SD Department of Health recommends for staying home.

If you would like to know more information about the SD Dept of health and healthy tips, visit https://healthysd.gov/.

As always, wash your hands for 30 seconds, use hand sanitizer, and be aware of your surroundings when coughing and sneezing. Stay well!

*Cough Cough* It's that time of year again. Fall is finally here but that means also sickness has struck Haven and the schools! There's a stomach bug as well as coughs going around in our program. One thing you can do to help stop the spread of germs is washing your hands and staying home if you're sick. Please share this with your kids and we will be getting plenty of hand sanitizer for the program site.
