Dear MWS Families,
On our list serve today you will be receiving a district communication regarding an update on the influenza outbreak throughout our community. This communication will also be posted on the front page of our school website for you to view as well. Please encourage as many others as you can to take the time to view this information as it will hopefully answer any questions or concerns you have.
Some families have called me directly or emailed me asking for specific actions that the school is taking and what we are doing to minimize the spread of this illness. On the ids191.org website there is a link in which you can view the district's Pandemic Influenza Response Plan for 2009-2010 which highlights what actions are being taken and by whom both at the building and district level.
As a parent myself, I completely understand your concerns. My wife and I worry whenever we take Emmett out in public, regardless of the location, and we share many of the fears you are expressing to me and feeling yourselves. I can only assure you that the staff at Marion W. Savage Elementary School is taking every recommended action from the Minnesota Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control to keep our school clean and safe.
While I am fully aware that this may not alleviate all of your fears, I am hopeful that it provides you with some relief. I remain confident in the efforts of the MWS staff to provide a clean and safe environment for all of our students. If you would like to contact me directly via phone or email to share your concerns or discover any additional information from me, please feel free to do so.
Warm regards,
Mr. Willey
