H1N1 Update for Walkerton schools

Everyone in our community is very concerned with illness this year, given the H1N1 flu outbreaks, as well as the seasonal flu. We are already in the midst of flu season at both schools, with lots of flu-like symptoms being reported. Thank you to parents who are leaving details of their childrens' illnesses on our Safe Arrival phone lines. This is information that we are passing to Public Health in order to help provide them with accurate information about the flu in our area. The Bluewater Board and all schools are taking their cues in this issue from our local Public Health office. If you would like any information on what the local plans are for Bluewater, and our two schools in particular, you can go to the Bluewater Board of Education website at www.bwdsb.on.ca or to the Public Health website at www.publichealthgreybruce.on.ca .

A letter has been sent out to all families which outlines the steps that we are taking at the schools. You can view this letter by clicking here.

The most important way for us to work together to limit the spread of any flu is to continue to emphasize frequent hand washing and to keep children home if they have flu-like symptoms. Please do not have them return to school until all symptoms have disappeared. We appreciate your assistance with these measures as they will help to keep people at our schools healthy.
