INFLUENZA VIRUS A (H1N1)

We would like to remind students, staff and visitors that it is possible to stem the propagation of the virus by simple measures such as frequent hand washing with soap and water or an alcohol-based antiseptic, and by sneezing into the bend of your elbow or your upper arm instead of into your hands.

Spread the word, not the flu.

Here are a few guidelines if you have been diagnosed with, or think you may have the flu.

  1. Stay home.
  2. Contact your teachers via email or MIO.
  3. Report your absence here.
  4. Check out the following decision chart.

Visit our H1N1 Info Page regularly for the latest information.
