H1NI Virus (Swine Flu)

Dear Parents,

It is the District's understanding, the Macomb County Health Department is closely monitoring all possible H1NI (Swine Flu) Virus reports throughout the county. The Anchor Bay School Distrist is working with the Macomb County Health Department to keep updated on any reports locating any cases and the measures we can implement to keep your child(ren) safe. As always, your child(ren)'s health and safety is our number #1 goal. As we work in conjunction with the Macomb County Health Department, we have provided a link to some current precautionary measures families can take to aid in protecting their child(ren)'s health and safety. The District will notify parents if any further information and/or actions are determined necessary.

STUDENT HEALTH

The health and safety of Anchor Bay School District students is always of vital importance. A particular concern is bacterial skin infections such as methicillin -resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). When parents report that their student has been diagnosed with such infections, the school district takes immediate action notifying the appropriate health officials, having the custodial staff follow health department guidelines to clean high-touch or soiled surfaces throughout the building and alerting staff and parents. Information on MRSA and other health issues is available on these websites: www.michigan.gov/mdch or www.reducemisuse.org. School administrators may be contacted with health concerns affecting their child in school. It is always a good ideal to encourage measures that reduce the spread of bacteria including good hand washing, not sharing personal items and keeping wounds covered. We encourage parents to reinforce these measures with their children at home.
