“Flu Information”
Please Read
With the continued presence of flu in the state and area we are making the following information available to parents. We hope this will be helpful as we will be dealing with flu issues for the rest of the school year. This information is in regard to H1N1 or Swine Flu but is basically the same for any flu. This information is from the Oklahoma Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control.
- Students and adults stay home when sick. Those with flu-like symptoms and a fever of over 100 degrees should stay home for 24 hours after they no longer have a fever without the use of medication. ( do not give aspirin to students with flu for fear of side effects)
- Students with ill household members should also stay home.
- Seek medical attention if flu-like symptoms are present and follow doctor’s instructions.
- Routinely clean areas that students touch or come in direct contact with any type of cleaner.
- Practice good hygiene and respiratory etiquette. Such as coughing and sneezing into your elbow not your hands or use tissue. Wash hands regularly.
- People who are at more risk are those who are pregnant, have asthma, diabetes, compromised immune systems, neuromuscular diseases or other illness.
- Please let the school know if your child has been diagnosed with the flu (any flu it does not have to be a confirmed case of H1N1)
Here at school we are taking preventative steps and are asking you to please help us at home. If a student is running a fever at school we will remove them from the other students and call the parents to come and pick them up from school. This looks to be a very bad flu year for all schools and if we work together maybe we can keep our students healthy and in school.
In the event that school is to be closed, for what ever reason, turn to the news on channels 10 and 12 for that information. We would only close school for flu if a large number of students become ill at one time. Thanks for your Help!
Sincerely,
Richard Thomas
