Please Note: Over the past two weeks we have had cases of chickenpox in the school. Please be on the lookout for the following signs or symptoms – fever, runny nose, cough and spots with a blister on top of each spot.
If your child shows any of these signs or symptoms over the next 14-16 days please keep them home for 1 week from the appearance of the rash/spots or until all blisters have dried up and crusted over.
Be advised that vaccinated students can still get chickenpox but not as severely as unvaccinated students.
Thank you for your support.
