Parent's Guide to the Flu

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/pdf/freeresources/updated/fluguideforparents_brochure.pdf

We have reported cases of the flu in 5th grade as well as other grades at school. Please remind your children about good hygiene as well as washing and sanitizing their hands.

It is very important to keep your children home when they are ill, especially if they have a fever. They should NOT return to school until they have been fever free for 24hours without the use of fever reducing medicine. Yes, sometimes that means keeping them home that extra day.
