!HEALTH ALERT!
Dear Sunnyside Parents,
We have had several cases of Conjunctivitis, also known as Pink Eye, in our center.
How do I know if my child has Conjunctivitis?
Pink Eye can cause discharge from the eye, itching, and the white part of the eye becomes pink. The disease can take up to three days to develop after exposure.
How does Conjunctivitis spread?
The disease is spread by direct contact. If another child has rubbed their eye and touches something, your child could have touched it also!
What do I do if my child has Pink Eye?
If your child has Pink Eye they will need to see a doctor. Your doctor will provide you with medicine for your child's eye. Wash your hands frequently to prevent spreading the infection further.
When can my child return to school?
Your child may return if you have received a doctor's note saying they are not contagious. OR, when your child has been on antibiotic treatment for 24 hours.
Please see me if you have further questions or concerns.
