As the cold and flu season approaches, Leander ISD would like to remind families of practical ways they can help prevent the spread of viruses this fall.

Students and staff are encouraged to get the seasonal flu vaccination and the H1N1 (swine) flu vaccination when it becomes available.
Students and staff should stay home when they are ill. They should not return to school until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
Students and their families should practice prevention strategies such as proper hand washing techniques, coughing into the crook of the arm, and using hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available.
LISD will continue to ensure that our schools and buildings are clean and commonly touched surfaces, such as door knobs, toilets and sink handles, stair rails, etc., are cleaned often.

The health and safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance to each of us. We will continue to focus on decreasing exposure to the seasonal and H1N1 flu, while limiting the disruption to the learning environment.

If you have any questions or concerns, please visit with the campus nurse.
