Good Morning To All,

I am sure you have heard the breaking news over the last few days of the “swine flu” being confirmed in the U.S.  Please, take the time to read the press release below that I have received from the Governor’s Office.  As I receive more information, I will forward it on to you. 

I want to remind everyone about proper respiratory hygiene—cough into your sleeve, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wash hands frequently (especially after coughing or sneezing), and stay home if you are ill (especially if you have a fever).  Please take it upon yourselves to remind other staff and students to do the same.  Teachers are encouraged to take a few moments in class to remind kids of the prevention of spreading germs through good and frequent handwashing and coughing/sneezing into the sleeve. As has been stated in the media, the highest risk is to anyone who traveled to Mexico last week.  Also, it is important to watch students who are known to have traveled over vacation to California or Texas.  I have been told this flu is spreading quickly and anywhere someone has traveled could be bringing this flu to Maine. 

Lastly, please don’t hesitate to send students to me who are not feeling well and may be exhibiting flu-like symptoms which are fever with a cough, complaints of sore throat, body aches, headache, chills or fatigue.

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,
Michelle Veayo
