Cold and flu-related illnesses

Date: February 14, 2019

Dear Parents, Guardians,

We are seeing flu-like illness in our school community. Symptoms can include fever, sore throat, and /or cough. Here are some suggestions to help you protect your health:

• Be sure that you and your family get the flu vaccine; this is the most important action to prevent or minimize an influenza infection.

• If you are pregnant or have a serious health condition, contact your healthcare provider to discuss antiviral medications if you or anyone in your family has flu like symptoms.

• Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds each time:

• Before eating or drinking.
• After using the toilet or changing diapers.
• After coughing, sneezing or using facial tissues
• Before touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

When water and soap are not available, alcohol-based hand cleaners can be used.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing into the inside of your elbow.

• Keep sick children home. Do not send them to school if they are sick. If they become sick at school you will be called to come pick them up. Make sure your emergency numbers are up to date.

• People who are sick should stay home from work or school and stay away from other people until they are free of fever for 24 hours (without fever reducing medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen) and are feeling better.

If you have questions please call your school nurse or health care provider.

Dear Parent or Guardian,

The current measles outbreak investigation in Clark County, Washington, raises questions about what parents should know in order to keep their children safe, and what their school will do if a case of measles is confirmed at their site.

Here are some important points to keep in mind:

• Measles is highly contagious. If a case is confirmed in a school or child care center, the health department will review all staff and student vaccination records to determine the risk of further spread.
• Keeping children in school/childcare is a priority, but measles is a serious disease. If an unvaccinated person is exposed to measles, they will not be allowed to go to school or child care during the time period when they could become sick, usually for 21 days after exposure. This may be extended if there are more measles cases.
• People excluded from school or childcare after a measles exposure are asked to stay home to avoid exposing others in the community.
• Now is a great time for all families, teachers, and school administrators to review their vaccine records and get their vaccines up to date.

State Testing Notice

In 2010, Oregon adopted higher K-12 standards in English Language Arts and Math to ensure all students move from

grade to grade with the academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school. Because we raised the

bar for what we expect students to know and be able to do, we have also changed the way we measure student progress

through our state tests, known as Smarter Balanced. For more information, please see the flyer - Click Here

2019 Immunization Results

The State of Oregon requires schools to notify parents of their immunization rates for each required vaccine.  These rates will be posted on our school’s website, in our school office, and sent home to parents.  The rates attached are the exemption rates as of the February exclusion date - which is always the third Wednesday of that month.  Schools are required to publish this information twice each school year.  These rates will be posted within thirty days of the February exclusion date.  The same information will be shared again during the first month of school next school year.  Again, these rates are collected and tallied each February.
