Cold & Flu Season Are Here!
Like many other school districts, Schiller Park District 81 is experiencing higher than usual absenteeism rates in its schools, due to fever, cough, etc. Some of these point to influenza-like illness, which the nursing staff is monitoring in conjunction with Cook County Health & Hospitals System guidelines.
With the arrival of cold and flu season, the Cook County Health & Hospitals System (CCHHS) is recommending increased awareness and precautions to help control and prevent the spread of influenza (flu). The CCHHS has created a fact sheet in both English and Spanish which lists important guidelines.
Winter Weather
It is important that they are adequately prepared for the cold temperatures. At this time of the year every child should be wearing a coat, hat, scarf and gloves when leaving the house in the morning. When there is snow on the ground boots are necessary.
