Please be sure to keep your students home if they are experiencing flu symptoms and also, if they had a fever, please note that they need to be 24 hour fever free before returning to school. Also, encourage your child to follow basic guidelines such as washing hands carefully, coughing into the elbow, etc. Thank you for your help in doing our best to keep all our staff and students as healthy as possible!
