H1N1 Flu Resources
Our district is closely monitoring updates regarding H1N1 Flu from Seattle and King County Public Health as well as state and federal recommendations from the Department of Health (DOH), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and US Department of Education. Because more cases are expected this flu season, efforts continue this year to educate students, families and staff on how best to prevent the spread of flu and manage illnesses that may occur.
