We are sorry to share that Morah Rhea tested positive for strep throat this morning. She was in school yesterday, masked, and left early when she wasn't feeling well. With Morah Amelia also out today, we are grateful to have Morah Jo and Morah Amy covering our Gesher class. They are having a wonderful day!
As a reminder, common symptoms of strep throat include the following:
Throat pain that usually comes on quickly Painful swallowing Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus Tiny red spots on the area at the back of the roof of the mouth (soft or hard palate) Swollen, tender lymph nodes in your neck Fever Headache Rash Nausea Not all sore throats are strep.The only certain way to diagnose strep is through a throat culture. The incubation period is 1-5 days. Please let us know if any other cases develop. We are grateful for the long weekend ahead and some extra time for our teachers to feel better before returning to school on Tuesday. Wishing them both a refuah shlema.
