Ugh. Haven't dealt with that yet, but the stomach bug is early this year in my neck of the woods. I sent home 12+ students vomiting in one day.

During the week prior to Thanksgiving and the week of Thanksgiving break, at least 40% of my student population was diagnosed with Flu. Since we returned from break I've had scattered cases but I honestly think we've made it through the worst!

Type A Flu is in full force here. 2 Staff members and numerous children already diagnosed. Also, strep has been going around for a few month.

Not yet. We've been hit with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease though. And a stomach bug.

We have Pink Eye, Strep, Confirmed Flu, and Stomach Bug circulating right now. I'm ready to shut it down and start Christmas Break early! :nurse::eek::scrying:
