General Flu Information

Dear families,

We have been notified by the King County Department of Health that there are high levels of influenza (the flu) in the community and it is expected to continue for 4-6 weeks.

The flu can be a dangerous illness for people who are very young, very old, or for those who have weakened immune systems.

If your child has symptoms of the flu, including a fever over 100 degrees, headache and body aches, and fatigue, please keep your child home from school. Please remind your child about the importance of hand-washing with soap and covering their mouth when coughing.
