Dear Teachers:
Please note that there has been a recent confirmed case of Chicken Pox (Varicella) in Middle School.
Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by a virus. It causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness and fever. It can be especially serious in babies, adults, and people with weakened immune systems. More detailed information please find https://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/index.html
If you or anyone in your household has symptoms that look like Chicken Pox:
● Contact your regular health care provider immediately
● If you have Chicken Pox, stay at home until the lesions have scabbed over
● Check to see if anyone in your home may need to be vaccinated
● All suspected cases should be reported to me.
If you hear of any students who have Chicken Pox, please inform me immediately.
Thank you,
Ellen Zhang
