The CDC called this flu season an widespread epidemic. Please remember to keep you child home if they have a fever of 100.°F and above. Medicating with fever reducing medication will not stop the spread of the infection. They may return to school after they have been fever free for 24 hours without the help of fever reducing medication. Please see poster from the CDC for more information on protecting your family and what to do if you do get the flu.
Steps to Prevent Illness
School is in session and so are germs that can cause illnesses. Keeping your child and Williams staff informed about wellness is our schools best defense against illness. Since it is difficult to predict when the flu season will begin, the severity of the season and how long it will last it is best to educate ourselves on what we can do to keep the flu at bay. The best and up-to-date information may be reviewed at the Center of Disease Controls web page. Follow the link http://www.cdc.gov/flu/index.htm
