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.
