We are beginning to see a few cases of Hand, Foot, and Mouth in the district.

Hand, Foot, and Mouth is a common viral illness of infants and children. However, older children and adults can also get Hand, Foot, and Mouth. Symptoms usually include fever, sores in the mouth, and a rash with blisters. A fact sheet has been included, or it can be found at https://5il.co/3rnz6. Students with symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth, particularly a rash illness with fever, should not attend school until at least 24 hours after the fever has resolved. We also recommend that they should also be seen by your healthcare provider. If your child contracts Hand, Foot, and Mouth, please notify your child's school.

Our custodial staff is proactively sanitizing desks, equipment, and surfaces. Our School Nurse, Mrs. Michelle Johnston, is available at 419-562-7828 x338 or johnston.michelle@wynfordroyals.org should you have any questions. Please keep a watchful eye on your student this week.
