H1N1 - 2009

Keeping Healthy...

U-46 is again taking precautions to ensure that everything that can be done will be done to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus.  The District also encourages everyone to take precautions to avoid spreading any infection, including:

Stay home when sick.  Parents should monitor their child's health every morning.  Students and staff with flu-like illness should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.

Hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette.  Students and staff should practice basic health hygiene practices like the three Cs:

Clean - wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of germs.
Cover - your cough or sneeze with your elbow or sleeve.
Contain - students and staff should stay home if they are sick.
