Dear Parents and Guardians:

Like other school districts, we in Briggs School District are experiencing student absences due to flu like illness.

To minimize the spread of germs Briggs School District is following the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) guidelines for flu prevention which are to keep people who are sick with flu like symptoms home until they are fever free for 24 hours. At school, we are having students wash and sanitize their hands on a regular basis and cover their mouths when they cough. We are also following CDC guidelines for regular cleansing of areas that students and staff touch often.

If your child shows signs of flu like illness such as a fever of over 100, cough, muscle aches, nausea and/or vomiting please notify us at school and keep your child at home until fever free (without any fever lowering medications) for 24 hours. However, do not refrain from giving your child fever lowering medications during the course of an illness or seeking medical attention.

Masks will be used for students who may become sick at school and for office staff to help reduce exposure.

Thank you in advance for helping us with prevention efforts to keep our students healthy and learning.

Sincerely,


Ms. Cuevas
Superintendent
