Wash hands; stay home when sick   

As we have all heard, health officials are predicting another wave of the H1N1 flu virus. To reduce the spread of this flu, the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) has put into place the following procedures.

Reporting Student Absences

Parents should report their child's absences to the school and provide the reason why the student will be away. Students who become ill should stay home until they no longer have a fever, and are feeling better, or are not presenting severe influenza type symptoms.

Secondhand tabacco smoke is especially dangerous to children because of their body size and breathing rate. It can cause health problems such as asthma, ear infections, cancers and heart disease later in life.  It has also been linked to sudden infant death syndrome.  To protect all Ontario children, a new law came into effect January 21, 2009 that makes it illegal to smoke or hold lit tobacco in a vehicle carrying children under the age of 16.  The health unit reminds all parents and caregivers to keep children safe by keeping vehicles smoke free.
