H1N1 Flu Prevention in EPISD
EPISD Parents and Staff:
As you know, flu season is here. Campuses are being cleaned and disinfected regularly. In addition, children are being reminded about proper hand-washing techniques and sneezing or coughing into their elbow to prevent the spread of flu.
You can help, too!
If your child develops flu-like symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, body aches, fatigue, and/or a fever, it is important that they do not attend school. It is best that the child stays at home for at least 24 hours after being free of the fever, without using fever-reducing medicine.
If your child is out due to the flu, please contact your school to ensure the absences are recorded properly.
