Handy Hints for Health - Folsom High has many accessible restrooms on campus, but sometimes they are locked due to monitoring and service needs. There are alternate choices, but they see very heavy traffic as a result. If you go to a restroom without soap, please use an adjacent bathroom in another building. It would also be very helpful to report it to Mrs. Thompson in the assistant principal’s office. We are reminded daily the importance of regularly washing your hands, especially during flu season. As a back-up plan, consider carrying a personal size hand sanitizer in your backpack. If you do become sick with the flu, remember to stay home until you are 24 hours free of fever or fever-reducing medication. Cover your sneezes and coughs with a disposable tissue or your elbow.
