There has been an update in COVID, Influenza and RSV within our community in addition to Strep Throat. Please stay home if you are sick and do not return to school until your symptoms begin improving AND you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. Please consider wearing a mask for 5 calendar days after return to school to protect your classmates, faculty, administration and most importantly YOURSELF!
The Maine CDC and US CDC estimates peak respiratory illness trends for 2025-2026 to mimic the 2024-2025 season with current peak activity to most likely occur in school populations over the next few weeks with the upcoming February Break. COVID cases are overall lower than this time last year with moderate levels of Influenza A in the community. Of course, this information can always change rapidly.
The Mobile Dental Clinic will be returning Early to Mid-May and will be extending services to staff and administration as well. The last clinic was a success and ran very smoothly. Information will be available to start sign-ups soon.
We are also welcoming Finding Our Voices for student programming in February regarding teen dating abuse and flyers are available through student advisors and hanging up throughout the campus. CPR classes will be coming in Late February/Early March, so we have much to look forward to and get us through the next cold months.
Students and parents can always reach out to me for more information, questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Andrea
