Dear Mead Families,

Since last Tuesday's illness update we have been made aware of additional flu diagnoses, including students in both the ELC and K-8 programs.

The Stamford Public Schools Health Department provided us with the following link to the State Department of Health, containing additional tips for flu prevention:

Children diagnosed with the flu can return to School once they have been cleared by their doctor.

We continue to clean, disinfect and look for additional opportunities to increase handwashing. We also recommend you encourage your child(ren) to wash hands when entering and exiting the building.

Thanks very much.

Kind regards,

Jeannette Baxendale

Office Coordinator and Executive Assistant
