H1N1 Flu Information
District and school administrators are working with U.S. and Illinois education and health agencies to plan for the upcoming flu season to be sure our policies and practices
are appropriate should the H1N1 flu impact our schools. As more information is available, it will be shared with families.
Overall, students and staff are reminded to exercise good personal hygiene habits. The Illinois Department of Public Health suggests the Three C’s:
Clean – Wash your hands frequently to prevent the
spread of germs
Cover – Your cough or sneeze with a tissue or sleeve, not your
hand
Contain – your germs – stay home if you are sick
