Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) continues to work with government and health agencies to monitor influenza (both seasonal and H1N1 strains) in our schools and to implement appropriate protocols. All EIPS' schools have been provided with our Division Pandemic Plan and Flu Surveillance Protocol.

With the H1N1 virus now circulating in the community, it is expected that all students and staff with influenza-like illness will stay home until they are symptom free and feeling well enough to return to school and participate in normal activities.  Alberta Health Services advises there is no requirement for people who come in close contact with cases of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza virus to stay home from school or work if they remain free of symptoms. 

Visit the Parents section of our website for up-to-date information about EIPS' H1N1 preparedness plans. The H1N1 Resources for Parents section also includes specific information for parents and families about H1N1 and influenza including some Frequently Asked Questions.
