Skin infections

What to notice and what to do...

We currently have a few students at OIS with school sores and boils. If you notice any skin infections, dry patches or lumps in your children, please check them to make sure they are not contagious and seek medical treatment if required. The following link is for a poster that covers common skin infections in children, what is contagious, when to seek treatment, and protocols around attending school.

Please ensure your children are washing their hands regularly to avoid the spread.
