Dear Parents/Guardians
We now have our second confirmed case of the H1N1 virus. One student is enrolled in grade six, now back in school, and one in grade four. My guess is that some of the other 13 absences are also H1N1 but are being diagnosed simply the "flu." Please keep reminding your children to wash their hands and limit close contact with friends.
As I posted on my “blog,” earlier, we are currently in the process of trying to schedule a "Vaccination" day through Oak Lawn and the Cook County Health Department. More detailed information regarding that project was sent home in yesterday’s "Brown Envelope."
It should also be pointed out that 13 absences are not unusual for a school of nearly four hundred. So, the rumor of a “pandemic” here at Saint Linus is, at least for the present, unfounded.
Hoping all is well with you and your family…….
