Principally Speaking . . . . .

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Only a few months ago you were being warned about the novel H1N1 or “Swine” Flu. Unfortunately, we are starting the school year in much the same manner.

This novel flu is still circulating in Arizona, and it appears that it is affecting our younger population at a higher rate than our normal “seasonal” flu. The Mohave County Department of Public Health reports that nationwide, more than half of those hospitalized have been school or pre-school aged children. Many More cases are possible this fall. Because of this, we all need to increase our efforts to keep our school community and your home environment flu-free.

You play an important role in how the flu will affect our school and ultimately the health of our community. By taking the following actions, you can help us cut down the rate of flu transmissions in our community: 

1. Teach your children good hygiene (we will be doing the same at school): This means covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or their sleeve, washing their hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and keeping their hands away from their faces. 
2. Keep your children home when they are sick: When a child comes to school sick, he or she can infect classmates at amazing rates. You should plan to keep your child home for a full 24 hours after all symptoms have subsided. Students running a fever, vomiting, or with diarrhea must be kept home. Preparing your family now, will help you take care if your child if he or she does get sick. If too many students are sick at school, we may be required to implement extreme measures such as closing the school, which has negative effect on all of us. 
3. Consider a seasonal flu vaccine: Although there won’t be a vaccine for novel flu until later this fall, the regular seasonal flu vaccine should be available in September. While seasonal flu vaccine will not protect us against the novel flu, it will help decrease the spread of regular flu in communities.

The Mohave County Department of Public Health is encouraging parents to get their children vaccinated with seasonal flu vaccine. If you do not have a primary care doctor, or your doctor does not have flu vaccine, contact the nursing office of your local health department.

We are monitoring flu-like illness closely and will be reporting abnormal absentee rates to the Mohave County Department of Public Health. However, we cannot stress enough that it will be our parents who will ultimately make the largest impact on the health of our school.
