We have acertained that the 4th grade student who had been exposed to the swine flu has in fact tested positive for swine flu.  We were not made aware of this until late yesterday, Thursday June 18, 2009.

If your child becomes ill, with a fever of 100 degrees or greater in combination with a cough or sore throat please seek medical attention ASAP!  , especially students in the fourth grade.  If your child should be diagnosed with the Swine Flu, please let the school know.  Do Not call the health office, call the main office.

Have a safe and healthy summer, use sun screen, avoid poison ivy (leaves of three, leave them be!) and check for ticks.
