March 10 Meeting Reminders:
> Sick Policy
A biggie! Since this is the sick season, just a friendly reminder about our sick policy. This is applicable to moms and our meeting time as well :) A good guideline - If you have a sick child and he/she is too sick to bring to MOPPETS, this probably means that he/she is too sick to bring to our meetings as well. Please be respectful to other moms - let's keep the table areas a "mom zone" allowing moms to have a break!

Children who are showing signs of illness must remain at home. Please do not bring sick children with you during the MOPS session. Here are a few guidelines to follow to determine whether your child is too sick to bring to MOPPETS:

- Nasal discharge other than clear within 24 hours
- Fever, rash, diarrhea, vomiting within 24 hours
- Cough within 24 hours
- Discharge from eyes within 24 hours

If in doubt, check with your pediatrician. The MOPPETS Coordinator will notify the mother to pick up their child if the child develops symptoms of illness while at MOPPETS. If your child develops a communicable illness (such as strep throat, pink eye, etc.), please notify the MOPPETS Coordinator so we can notify others and clean rooms accordingly.

> Swap Table
There will no longer be a swap table. Please start saving your items for the Garage Sale on April 4th! More details on the Garage Sale to come.

> MOPPETS Check In Change for Toddlers and Nursery Rooms
Please check in your toddler and/or infant around the back of the building. This will make the check in process smoother and alleviate the noise and congestion around the meeting area. Signs will be posted as a reminder.
