We want to bring to your attention that we have had two cases reported to us of students showing symptoms of chickenpox.

The disease is spread by coughing, sneezing and contact with weeping blisters. Early symptoms to watch for are fever and spots with a blister on top of each spot.

Students should stay away from school 1 week from appearance of rash, or until all blisters have dried.

We also advise you to consult your doctor if you need more information.
