H1N1 Update
I am very pleased to inform you that student absence rates
due to illness have dropped dramatically this week. Most
schools are reporting rates of approximately 4% - 6% as of
today.
I thank you for your continued cooperation
with the practice of keeping your child home if he/she is sick and
by encouraging good health practices such as hand washing and
sneezing/coughing into one's elbow if the need arises. I
firmly believe that if we continue to be vigilant with regard to our
prevention strategies, each will have a positive impact on both
student and staff absence rates.
Thank you also for
your patience as we work to keep you informed of the impact the H1N1
virus may have in our schools.
The school district's web
site at www.rsd17.org continues to be a primary site where you may
obtain the most current information about the flu. Additional
