We did get a note home from school and one of those automated calls. Here is what the note said;
April 27, 2009
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
This letter is to help protect you and your family from the swine flu and other
illnesses.
It is important to point out that there is no swine flu in Illinois at this time.
Breathing in or touching infected droplets from an infected person who is coughing
or sneezing will spread the virus that causes Swine Flu.
Please do the following to protect yourself and others from the Swine Flu:
1. Keep sick children at home. Do not send them to school.
2. Teach your children to wash their hands with lots of soap and water for
20 seconds. Set a good example by doing this yourself.
3. Teach your children to cover their coughs and sneezes with tissues or by
using the inside of their elbow. Be sure to set a good example by doing
this yourself. If you cannot wash your hands, use a hand sanitizer.
4. Teach your children to stay at least three feet away from people who are
sick.
5. People who are sick should stay home from work or school and avoid
contact with other people until they are better.
If you have questions, please contact Joan Hyatt, Health Services Coordinator (847â
360â5418), your health care provider, school nurse, or the Lake County Health
Department (847â377â8130).
Sincerely,
Joan Hyatt,
Health Services Coordinator
