Swine Flu Update

There are confirmed cases of H1N1 flu "Swine Flu" in Maine. We are sending home pamphlets with all Primary and Middle School students today. High School parents and students can also view updated information at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/boh/swine-flu-2009.shtml
In the event of a confirmed case of H1N1 flu in our schools, the schools will be closed for seven days by the Center for Disease Control. Announcements for this will be made using the usual emergency closing sources.

According to current information, any forced closure of school will not result in having to make up the missed days, but that is the current information. Please do not send a student to school if the student is symptomatic with those signs that are up on the CDC site.
