Information From Massachusetts Department of Public Health

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health has recommended that our schools provide fact sheets and guidelines for our students and staff to educate them on the information that we presently have.  By following some general guidelines, we can reduce the chances of this, as well as other viruses, spreading within our communities.

Here are links to three important documents from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, for downloading, reading, and/or printing:

MDPH Letter to Parents - Back to School Update

Flu Symptom Checklist for Families and Schools

Information for Parents about Flu in Schools (FAQ)

 


Please review the information we are providing with all of your family members and contact your health care provider if anyone at home has flu-like symptoms.  Also, please be reminded that our school district has a policy for the exclusion of ill students that we are also sending home again for you to review, and it can be downloaded by clicking on this link.
