We continue to see the symptoms of influenza like illnesses in our schools. We would like to thank parents for their reporting of these symptoms. Please continue to report and describe the symptom that your child is experiencing. Some of the things you might be seeing are fever, cough, and sore throat. If your child is experiencing body aches and tiredness, please report that as well.
The Minnesota Department of Health has asked us to report influenza like illness when absenteeism reaches five percent per building and three per classroom in the elementary. You may see news media reports regarding these statistics.
We continue to advocate good hand washing hygiene and cough etiquette as our main defense against influenza like illness. Also, keeping your child home when he or she displays the symptoms of fever, cough or sore throat is vitally important to the health of everyone.
