SA and the flu: Summer Academy is a fun and unique experience for our children. In helping to maintain this atmosphere, the Health Office asks parents/care providers to take an active role in keeping our kids (academy) healthy.
This is particularly important with the ongoing H1N1 Novel Influenza epidemic. Please keep your child home if you observe any of the following:
— Fever greater than 100°
