H1N1 is still with us

We continue to receive advice from the federal government, state and Wright County about the H1N1 virus.

As of today we are operating under the following guidelines:
  • The influenza-like illness is a fever of 100 degrees, or greater, and recent onset of runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat or cough.
  • If you experience these symptoms stay home for at least 24 hours after the symptoms are resolved.
  • The best defense is good cough and hand hygiene etiquette.
  • Families are encouraged to have a plan in place if a child needs to stay home.
  • Vaccinations may be offered on a school-wide basis in October, however we have not received the details regarding that possibility.
