Dear Students, Families, and Staff,
As you are aware there have been confirmed cases of H1N1 Swine Flu reported across the United States. Our school district works closely with local, state, and national health agencies to investigate any illnesses and/or infections.
H1N1 Swine Flu in people is characterized by fever (100 degrees or more), sore throat, cough, body aches, headaches, chills, and fatigue. The illness may last up to seven days, but people are considered to be contagious as long as symptoms persist. If you or your child have mild flu-like symptoms, monitor and telephone your physician to consult if necessary.
We want to remind parents and staff of the importance of prevention and how to stay safe. Parents please update your emergency contact information with your child(s) school and have a back-up plan prepared in advance.
What You Can Do To Prevent the Spread of H1N1 Swine Flu:
- Sneeze or cough into a tissue, elbow or sleeve. Throw the tissue in the trash after use.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol based hand sanitizers are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs can be spread that way.
- If you are sick, stay home.
Symptoms of H1N1 Swine Flu:
- Fever 100 degrees or more, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, fatigue.
- Please remember that students should stay home when they have any of the above symptoms.

Sincerely,
Jean Shumate, Ed.D.
