Parents

We are sure that you have heard about the potential of an H1N1 virus recurrence this fall. We want to reassure you that Walled Lake Consolidated Schools is following all of the Oakland County Health Department and Center for Disease Control guidelines as they relate to the H1N1 flu.

Those guidelines include:

• Students/staff exhibiting flu-like symptoms or having a fever should stay home.
• If a student/staff member has H1N1, a confirmation letter is needed, as well as a release allowing the student/staff to return to school/work.
• Follow procedures for cleanliness, including washing hands, etc.
• Ongoing procedures for cleaning and disinfecting each of our buildings.
• Not closing schools as a first resort.

While we will remain vigilant in maintaining the cleanliness of our buildings, we will still need your help in keeping your children home if they have flu-like symptoms. We will work collaboratively with the state and federal health officials and we pledge to keep you informed.
