Staying Healthy Together!
Flu season has started and we have seen students absent with the flu and flu-like illness in our community. As you may know, the flu is spread easily from person to person and school-age children are among the groups most affected. Read this update from Nursing Services: https://tinyurl.com/RHFLU22
If you suspect your child is getting sick, please do not send them to school. Students who are experiencing the symptoms listed above need complete the following steps:
- Stay home from school
- Call the District Call Center to report your childβs symptoms at 803-980-2016
- The District Call Center staff will provide additional information about flu and COVID testing.
- The District Call Center will also ensure absences are coded correctly.
- The District Call Center will work with the Nursing Services department to determine classrooms that have an increase in student illness for reporting purposes.
