Nestled in Western Maine’s beautiful lakes and mountains region is the picturesque village of Rangeley, a community of about 1,000 full-time residents, lying 38 miles from the nearest stoplight, Dunkin Donuts, and McDonalds. Rangeley Lakes Regional School houses approximately 230 students, kindergarten through Grade 12, all under one roof. This uniqueness allows our students and staff to work together as a team from the first day of school until the day seniors walk down the aisle to receive their diplomas.

FLU CONCERNS
The administration and staff at Rangeley Lakes Regional School are asking for your assistance to help keep students and staff from getting sick with flu or flu like illness. In order to comply with recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) sick students and staff must stay home.
We are requesting that ill students and staff with a fever of or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (or with symptoms of a fever) remain at home. A child who has been sick can return to school after 24 hours have passed with a normal temperature (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius) without the use of fever- reducing medicines. Fever reducing medications are any medicines which contain acetaminophen or ibuprofen (such as Tylenol or Motrin). It is important that a child or teenager with the flu or flu-like symptoms does NOT receive aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) as this can cause a rare but serious illness called Reye’s syndrome. If you are not able to measure a temperature, the sick person might have a fever if he or she feels warm, has a flushed appearance, or is sweating or shivering. This info was adapted from the CDC’s “Preparing for the Flu A Communication Toolkit for Schools (Grades K-12).”
Any child who is sick at school will be sent home. Please be sure your emergency contact list includes someone who could pick your child up at school if you are out of town or are unable to be reached.
Please watch your mail for a copy of the information in this post as well as a H1N1 Fact Sheet.
If you are concerned about the amount of lost instruction time for your child and for the time you may need to be out of work, please remember that by allowing your child time to fully recover, you are not only preventing the spread of disease you are also allowing your child’s immune system a better chance to fight off the next illness going around.
We appreciate your cooperation at helping to reduce the spread of flu.
Thank you, and I look forward to a great new year! The staff has been working diligently throughout the summer planning new initiatives, preparing new curriculum programs, and developing new activities. Watch for my parent newsletter next Friday!
