Re: Illness incidence
Date: December 17, 2015
Dear Frenchtown families:
Over the past 48 hours we have experienced a higher than average incidence of gastrointestinal illness and absences. We have been tracking symptoms and communicating with parents about the typical course of illness. Students who have been affected experienced an acute onset of stomach ache and several episodes of vomiting; followed by a fairly rapid return to recovery within hours. Some children also developed fevers. The distribution has not been confined to any particular classroom or grade level. Thank-you for sharing this crucial information and for being mindful of district policies regarding attendance.
Students should be free of fever and vomiting for at least 24 hours before returning to school. It is common for students to require more additional rest beyond this period, especially if they are still lethargic due to dehydration.
Please contact me if you are uncertain if your child is “fit for duty”or with any other concerns @ 401-398-1522.
