Principal's Report
We have a confirmation of H1N1 flu virus(Swine Origin Influenza Virus). Lately, we have had a large number of students away. On Friday at 3:15pm, Mr. Cooper was notified of a confirmed a mild case of H1N1. Anyone showing symptoms should stay home for 7 days or 1 full day without showing any symptoms. It is good that our kids are going through it now than in October when flu season starts. We have been trying to isolate the kids with symptoms and then send them home. The custodial staff have been instructed to do extra cleaning in public areas like doorknobs, etc. If you have any questions or concerns, call the Healthlink line. Several schools in the west end have confirmed cases of H1N1.
