H1N1 Influenza: Ways to stay healthy

With recent news attention on cases of H1N1 Influenza, the district would like to remind students, parents and the community of the three best ways to protect themselves:

• Practicing good hand hygiene. Students, parents and staff members should wash their hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

• Practicing respiratory etiquette. The main way that the flu spreads is from person to person in the droplets produced by coughs and sneezes, so it’s important to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.

• Staying home if you’re sick. Keeping sick students at home means that they keep their viruses to themselves rather than sharing them with others.

Students, staff, and their families must take personal responsibility for helping to slow the spread of the virus by practicing these steps to keep from getting sick with flu and protecting others from getting the flu.

Here are some resources for parents and community members seeking facts and information about this strain of the flu virus:
