We have not had any official cases of the Swine Flu reported at SLE, but there are cases around the county. Please talk to your children about how to avoid exposure to the flu by following these tips:
- Do not put fingers, pencils, and other objects in your mouth
- Do not share food or drinks with other students
- Cough into the bend of your arm to avoid spreading germs
- Wash hands with soap while humming the "Happy Birthday" tune to do a really good job
- Use GermX (but don't forget washing hands with soap)
- Stay away for other people who are running fever
If your child does get sick, please do the following:
- Take your child to the doctor immediately at the first sign of the flu
- Keep your child at home so she will not spread the flu.
- Keep children at home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone
- Tell the school of your child's condition and progress
Thank you for helping to keep your children well. Don't worry about absences and test exemptions, we are working on an alternative policy during these unusual circumstances. Please call the school and ask for the principal or the counselor for more information. - Mr. Henderson
