The Safe/Healthy Environment Committee is responsible for identifying and addressing issues related to the safety, health and well-being of the students and staff. It will also focus on environmental issues pertaining to the building and grounds of PSI.
There are important actions that you and your family can take to stay healthy:
• Stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from
getting sick too.
• Cover nose and mouth when sneezing or coughing. Use a tissue or your sleeve. Remind childrento, “Sneeze in your sleeve”
and dispose of used tissues immediately
• Wash your hands often to protect yourself from germs. Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based
disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is
contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth.
• Practice good health habits. Keep yourself strong and more resistant to disease by getting plenty of sleep, staying
physically active, managing stress, drinking plenty of fluids and eating nutritious food.
If you think you or your child has H1N1 Novel Influenza, call your health care provider and have your child stay home from
school. School staff will be observing students in school for any flu-like symptoms and will direct anyone exhibiting these
symptoms to the school nurse.
