Influenza ("Flu") season in NH is generally through the winter and into spring. Please contact nursing if your child has been diagnosed with Influenza or you suspect that your child may have Influenza. Influenza spreads quickly within school settings and with your assistance we can minimize the spread of Influenza here at North School. We ask that if your child has any of the symptoms of Influenza in the red above that you keep your child home to rest. Also, refer to this Influenza Informational Guide from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information.
