Infection Control

In any school year, it is essential to have strategies in place to prevent the spread of disease in the school-based setting. These strategies are not new; however, it is important to redouble our efforts to ensure that well-established health practices are enforced to prevent or reduce the spread of diseases like influenza.

If you have questions about the flu, please contact your family doctor, visit a local walk in clinic or contact your local Public Health Unit. Remember that it is important to keep your child home from school if he or she is ill.
