We are taking extra precaution to ensure that the Swine flu (H1N1) does not spread to our classrooms. Therefore, we would like to ask parents to remind your kids to wash hands with soap and water before, during and after school. We encourage your child to stay home if he/she is sick. Here are some symptoms that you should watch for: fever, sore throat, coughing, sneezing, body aches, headaches, lack of appetite. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. The symptoms are similar to a regular flu. However, extra precautions should be taken, since H1N1 virus is highly contagious and there is NO vaccine available to prevent the virus.
