When I picked her up after school, she told me that she finished her food again and had asked for a 2nd helping. Then I remembered, oh yes, it's chicken macaroni soup on the menu today. No wonder... hahaha
My intuition tells me to look into Renee's bag today and indeed, I found their Term 2 Newsletter clamped in btwn the communication book :)
It talked about health issues and urged parents not to bring the children to school at the first sign of a runny nose. This concern was brought up by some parents, probably due to the recent HongKong influenza outbreak. It also urged us to inform the school via phone or the communication book, if we've travelled to HK during the holidays and they will monitor the child in school. Initially I thought, oh no, I've allowed Renee to continue with school when she had runny nose few wks ago... but then again, although it'd be a wastage of S$25 per missed session hahaha, we would still adhere if they told us not to bring Renee down.. That was why I've asked Mrs Jacob not just once, but on a few occasions if it's ok but she had replied on all occasions that Renee's ok to attend still. So I'm safe, hehehe :D
Another pointer from the Principal, extracted from the newsletter :
"I have also received a letter from MOH informing schools that while there has not been an increase in influenza cases in Singapore, HMFD is on the rise. We have been advised to take the necessary precautions and to maintain high hygiene standards.
We will conduct health checks in the classroom and to prevent spread of any viruses we will cancel assembly til we receive further advice."
Indeed, I've read from somewhere recently also, that HFMD seems to be on the rise, again, why ar? - hope there won't be any more new cases...
