*Important Reminder*

When school buses are parked in front of the building with their lights on, it is illegal and dangerous to pass them. There have been several instances of this happening lately, so for the safety of all, remember to comply with the law.

Dear Parents and Community Members:

The H1N1 Influenza (flu) virus is making its way through the North Country. This letter is intended to clarify information and answer your questions regarding our children at Moriah Central School.

 

To date, there have been students with colds, coughs and complaints of stomach pains. We are seeing an increased number of students with influenza-like symptoms. These children have been kept and remain at home until they are completely free of all symptoms.

If your child has flu-like symptoms, such as a fever greater than 100º F, a sore throat, cough, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, muscle aches, and/or fatigue, please keep him/her at home, until they have been free of a fever for 24 hours without the assistance of fever-reducing medications (Tylenol, Acetaminophen, Motrin, Ibuprofen). Anti-viral medications such as Tami Flu may be prescribed by a doctor and administered within 48 hours of the start of symptoms, as they appear effective in treating flu-like symptoms. We can not stress enough the importance of frequent hand washing with soap and warm water and covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing.

Essex County Public Health Department has confirmed that when the H1N1 vaccine becomes available, our school will be contacted two weeks prior to a scheduled clinic. Packets containing the date of the scheduled clinic, information about the virus and vaccine, and consent forms, will be mailed to every parent of District students.

As a district, we will continue monitoring attendance, educating our students on proper hygiene to prevent the spread of unwanted germs, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, such as door handles and keyboards. The District is committed to operating as usual until it is determined that we are unable to transport, supervise, and educate our students. Should there be a need to close school, we will follow our standard school closing procedures (WPTZ, Vermont Broadcasting, and our website). Please be assured we will keep you informed of further developments. For the most up-to-date information, visit this website.

Thank you for your cooperation, support, and ongoing attention to this matter.

Best of health,
MCS Administration
