District provides information to parents on Ebola

Disponible en:

Dear Parents and Guardians:

The health of our students and employees is important to all of us in the Aldine Independent School District. In light of the concerns surrounding Flu Season, Enterovirus D-68 and the Ebola virus, I want to reassure you that we are closely monitoring the events concerning these illnesses.

The school district complies with the Center for Disease Control and Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services guidelines.

Aldine ISD will continue to educate our students, staff and community about the importance of hand washing; covering a cough or sneeze; not touching one’s eyes, nose or mouth; staying home when ill and other measures to prevent the spread of all communicable diseases.

We do need your help in keeping our students healthy. Please keep your child home if he or she is not feeling well and/or:

• • Temperature is greater than 100 degrees
• • Vomiting or has vomited during the night
• • Rash or skin infection other than poison ivy
• • Diarrhea
• • Contagious diseases or infestations – including but not limited to scabies, impetigo, conjunctivitis, live lice, and varicella.

Students shall not return to school unless symptom free for more than 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services at 713-439-6000 or visit their website or visit the Centers for Disease Control web site.

Thank you for your continued support in partnering with us to keep our students healthy and safe.

Sincerely,
Dr. Wanda Bamberg, Superintendent of Schools
