A few months ago, we ended the school year with the Novel H1N1 virus being detected in our community.  The virus has continued to be detected throughout the summer months and we can anticipate it continuing to spread as the school year begins.  So far, the disease has been mild and no deaths have occurred in Collin County.

Please note that new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that schools should only close if a school is not able to conduct its day-to-day functions or if the H1N1 virus develops into a more deadly form.  By following the CDC’s recommendations listed below, you can keep students, staff members, and families healthy.
