Parenting teenagers: Help ! What’s normal? Where can I find support? 

You’re not alone! Parenting teenagers has never been easy and each generation of parents faces new challenges. It’s natural to experience mood swings as an adolescent, but many teenagers are now experiencing higher levels of mental health problems than ever before. We know that as a parent, it can be difficult to know what’s normal and when you should worry. Please see their website for more information for parents and young people.

Measles, Chicken Pox and Shingles

We would like to ask for your co-operation in an

important matter. One of our pupils is receiving

medical treatment for cancer which puts him at

risk if he is exposed to measles, chicken pox or

shingles.

 

1.   Please let us know immediately if your child is

suspected of having measles.

 

2.  The pupil is also at risk from chicken pox and

would need to be given an injection within three

days of contact. If your child is suspected of having 

chicken pox, you should let us know immediately.

 

3.  It is also important that you advise us if someone

in your household is suffering from shingles.

 

Your child is not at any risk from this situation.

However, the health and well being of the pupil does

depend on the co-operation of all parents and carers.

 

Thank you for your support.
