For most of you, you already know this but the local school cancellation is caused by the count of absent students out sick with the seasonal flu. They say that this is a dramatic increase of absent students has tripled in its amount since last years count. The school officials think by the end of April that all the schools should be back in section.

The high school has set up a day care center in the gymnasium for those parents who can not afford to miss work or for those with prior engagements. They do have a small fee. There are a couple other packages to help certain families, a few of these include single parents, families with more then three children and there is a donation reduced fee package, the formal hours of the daycare center are 7am-5pm. If needed other arrangements they do have help, just call. One more important thing you must sign your child up before you leave them, you may not just drop them off.

We understand your concerns about your child’s health that is why they have also brought on some of the local nurses and doctors, on staff at the center. This is to make sure your child get their proper treatments. They are taking extra procession on trying to reduce the local flu infection.
