IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS 

We are monitoring the flu conditions at Grasso, as our goal is to keep our school open and functioning in a normal manner during the flu season, but we need your help to do this. We are seeing an increase in the number of students coming to school ill with flu like symptoms. In order to reduce the spread of illness, please keep your sick child home. The school nurse will not excuse a child who comes to school ill. Please do not allow your child to return to school until their fever is less than 100 degrees for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication.

Here are some things you can do to help prevent the spread of the flu including H1N1:  

  • Remind your child to wash his/her hands frequently during the day, especially before eating, after using the bathroom, after gym class or use of shared equipment, and after blowing his/her nose.  Please consider sending your child to school with a small bottle of hand sanitizer to use when not near soap and water.
  • Remind your child not to share personal items like food and drink, lip gloss or lip balms, and uniforms.
  • Remind your child to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues.  When tissues are not available, advise your child to cover coughs and sneezes using an elbow, arm or sleeve instead of the hand. 

Very truly yours,

Kerry Parker Bell

Principal
