Illness
There has been lots of sickness at St Joseph’s over the past week with a tummy bug circulating, and many coughs and colds.
The advice is to PLEASE keep your children at home if they have any flu like symptoms. Covid advice/regulations for Catholic Education has not changed from the beginning of the year– you will need to get a covid test if your child is exhibiting symptoms and should return to school when they no longer have symptoms. The school should also be given a copy of the negative result on returning to school.
There has also been some cases of rhino virus – highly contagious with symptoms such as sore throat, ear infections infected sinuses– so again please do not send your child to school if they are unwell.
