As many of you will know, we have an outbreak of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in our school community. At the moment we are managing to contain the outbreak and have been screening over 100 students a day at the Health Clinic in the past few days. To date, we have no cases in the Middle School. To help keep it this way, we are requesting your help. Due to the nature of our MS schedule and the many interactions that our MS students have within a day, if possible, please take your children’s temperature and look in their mouths and on their hands and feet for blisters each morning. If your child has any fever, or blisters/ulcers in their mouth or on their hands or feet please, do not send them to school and take them to the doctor for review. If a case is confirmed, please notify ISB’s Health Clinic.
In the Health Clinic we will continue to screen students who we know may have been exposed to the virus.
Please find at this link the information sheet regarding Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. We greatly appreciate your assistance in helping control this over the coming week.
