Chicken Pox
Dear Teachers:
Please note that there has been a recent confirmed case of Chicken Pox (Varicella) in Middle School.

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.
