Dear Parents/Guardians,

 

In light of recent events regarding the H1N1 Influenza Flu, we are encouraging parents to speak to their children about proper hygiene and tell them to wash their hands frequently and if they cough to cover their mouths with a tissue.  If you don't have a tissue, cover your mouth with the crook of your elbow rather than your hand.  But if you do use your hands when coughing or sneezing, wash them as soon as possible afterwards.  According to the CDC, H1N1 Influenza Flu symptoms are similar to those of the common human influenza (flu) virus – fever, cough, sore throat, headache, etc.   Washing your hands often with soap and water or utilizing hand sanitizers is helpful in preventing the spread of these types of illnesses.  We are suggesting to parents that they send their child to school with disinfectant hand wipes that the child can use on their desks in the classroom when they enter and leave the classroom. 

 

If your child shows any flu symptoms, it would be best to have them stay at home until they are feeling better.
