H1N1 Information

The school nurse has asked us to pass along this information to parents regarding H1N1 virus

If your child has a fever of 100 degrees or higher, keep them at home for seven days or until they do not have a fever for 24 hours without taking a fever reducing medication such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen etc. Schools will be monitoring students for signs of illness; they will take the temperature of any student who appears or complains of being sick. If the student is found to have a fever of 100 degrees or higher, we are asking parents to pick them up immediately. Working parents need to form a backup plan in the event their child becomes sick.



Thanks for your help,
Wendy Wood
Iron County School Nurse
