Subject: A Health Update for District 300: Increased Flu Activity

District 300 Families,

We want to make you aware that flu activity is currently high in our area, and respiratory illnesses are spreading within our community. These trends may continue in the coming weeks.

To help reduce the spread of illness, families are encouraged to take the following everyday preventative steps:

Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water, especially after coughing, sneezing, or using the restroom.
Cover coughs and sneezes using a tissue or your elbow or upper sleeve rather than your hands.
Help contain illness by keeping students and staff home when they are sick. If symptoms include fever or chills along with a cough or sore throat, families are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider.

For guidance on when students should remain home from school, please review District 300’s Sick Day Guidelines at: https://www.d300.org/support-services/health-services/sick-day-guidelines

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping keep our schools healthy.

Sincerely,
District 300

Subject: Actualización de Salud para el Distrito 300: Aumento de la Actividad de la Gripe

Familias del Distrito 300:

Queremos informarles que la actividad de la gripe es alta actualmente en nuestra área y que las enfermedades respiratorias se están propagando en nuestra comunidad. Estas tendencias podrían continuar en las próximas semanas.

Para ayudar a reducir la propagación de enfermedades, se recomienda a las familias que tomen las siguientes medidas preventivas diarias:

Lavarse las manos frecuentemente con agua tibia y jabón, especialmente después de toser, estornudar o ir al baño.
Cubrirse la boca y la nariz con un pañuelo desechable, el codo o la parte superior de la manga, en lugar de las manos.
Ayudar a contener la enfermedad manteniendo a los estudiantes y al personal en casa cuando estén enfermos. Si los síntomas incluyen fiebre o escalofríos, además de tos o dolor de garganta, se recomienda a las familias que se comuniquen con su médico.

Para obtener orientación sobre cuándo los estudiantes deben quedarse en casa y no asistir a la escuela, consulte las Pautas para Días de Enfermedad del Distrito 300 en: https://www.d300.org/support-services/health-services/sick-day-guidelines

Gracias por su continua colaboración para ayudarnos a mantener nuestras escuelas saludables.

Atentamente,

Distrito 300
