What
has District #289 done to prevent the spread of flu in our schools
and community?
• Installed hand sanitizers in all classrooms and offices (Summer
2009)
• Installed paper towel dispensers in all restrooms that do not
require touching knobs or handles (summer 2009)
• Educated staff and students how to cover mouth and
nose
• Reminded staff and students to practice good hand
hygiene
• Staff is watching out for sick students and sending them to the
school health office for evaluation if they are feverish or showing
other flu related symptoms.
• Custodians are frequently cleaning hand rails, door knobs and
other surfaces that have frequent hand contact with sanitizing
cleaning agents.
• Sent out information with all students giving parents information
about the prevention and spread of influenza and will continue to
do so as needed
• School offices are keeping a daily log of symptoms common to
students who are absent.
• School health staff is in close contact with parents who have
children with flu-like symptoms.
• School health staff is in close contact with the LaSalle Health
