Flu Like Symptons

Parents please be aware of flu like symptoms and keep your children home if they are sick. Students should only return to school after 24 hours fever free with no fever reducing medications. About 98% of all flu right now is in fact to be considered H1N1 (Swine Flu). Prevention through hand washing, proper etiquette for sneezing and coughing and staying home when sick is important. Please notify me if your child has a confirmed case – it can now be confirmed just through a doctor’s diagnosis. We are doing extra cleaning of common areas and special cleaning of classrooms. The good news: the virus can only live on surfaces for 2 hours. Stay healthy!!
