Please be mindful of these symptoms and keep your child home if they are feeling significantly ill with any of these symptoms.  

Please remember that SCBOE states that a student should not attend school until he/she has been fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of fever reducing medications.  Please use the following Google form to report any confirmed or suspected cases of the flu so we can monitor the severity of this outbreak.
