The district would like to remind you of precautionary measures you and your family can take to stay healthy. Spread of this swine influenza virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Practicing simple hygiene measures can help prevent the spread of the flu. These include covering your nose and mouth with a tissue if you cough or sneeze and promptly throwing the tissue in the trash. Washing your hands with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing is also important. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective. You also need to avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth to prevent spreading germs. These practices should be reviewed with your children. Most importantly, if you get sick with influenza, you should stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Indian Prairie School District is collaborating with the DuPage County Health Department to monitor the swine flu situation locally. We ask when you call your school to report your child as absent, that you describe the symptoms he or she is experiencing. Please do not send children to school with a persistent cough or until they are fever-free for 24 hours without taking fever reducing medication. Contact your medical provider if you have questions or concerns about the swine flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has information online: English Spanish |
