The Sedgwick County Health Department is offering H1N1 vaccination clinics for the community. More information is posted on the Sedgwick County Health Department's website.

No longer notifying of confirmed cases (Oct. 4)
Because it appears the H1N1 virus is widespread throughout the community, and because the health and safety precautions are the same regardless of the type of flu a student may have, the district will no longer notify parents when there is a confirmed case. Click here to read the message Superintendent John Allison to employees.

Every school nurse knows the symptoms and will monitor students to see if any show signs of the illness. More information will be posted to the website as situations change. Family members who do not have symptoms can continue to attend school, work or and other community gatherings. 


           Those at greatest risk for H1N1 include:

·         Pregnant women,

·         Children age six months to 24 years

·         People age 25 to 64 years with health conditions that   compromise their immune systems
