Flu alert for parents
There has been an increase in the number of Niskayuna students with flu-like symptoms. To help prevent the spread of illness, please note the following:
If students are ill, please keep them home until they are feeling better. If your child has a fever, please make sure he/she is fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
Encourage your child to wash his/her hands periodically throughout the day to prevent the spread of germs.
Help ensure your child gets enough sleep.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your student's physician or school nurse.
