We are posting this message to let you know that we have a diagnosed case of flu in the Middle School.

This may or may not be swine flu but we have decided to act prudently and allowed Classes 7, 8 & 9 to end the term today, Thursday.

As the mid-year break is upon us, we hope that isolating the Middle School children may have the effect of limiting the spread of infection.  The rest of the school is continuing as normal.

If children of any class are symptom free, they are welcome to attend the midwinter festival.  Because this activity is out of doors the level of risk is low.

We are letting you know in case your child should develop flu-like symptoms.  We are also aware that some children will have holiday arrangements and be about to visit friends or relatives who may be especially vulnerable to flu.  If this is your situation, you may wish to discuss any concerns with your family doctor.
