Each session includes the same information—attend the one that works for you.

Thank you for helping us shape the future of teaching and learning in Northborough and Southborough. Your voice matters.

The District has seen an increase in the number of confirmed flu and influenza-like illnesses in the past week.  Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. 

We recommend closely monitoring for symptoms. Symptoms usually appear 2-3 days after exposure. If symptomatic, please stay home and contact the school nurse. Flu signs and symptoms typically develop suddenly. If you have concerns about any symptoms or if you have any underlying chronic health conditions, please contact your healthcare provider immediately. 

People who are sick with the flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:

• Fever*/feeling feverish or chills

• Cough

• Sore throat

• Runny or stuffy nose

• Muscle or body aches

• Headaches

• Fatigue (tiredness)
  

• Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

**It’s important to note that not everyone with the flu will have a fever.

Please continue to inform the school nurse of any flu diagnosis (or any other respiratory illness), and please follow our District Illness Guidelines for return to school criteria. 

After having the flu or an influenza-like illness, to return to school, both the following must be true: the fever must be free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication, and the individual must have the stamina to participate in an entire school day. 

Please continue to promote good hygiene and healthy habits.

• Good hygiene: Encourage regular hand washing, cough/sneeze into your elbow, and avoid touching your face/mouth, especially during cold and flu season, to reduce the spread of germs.

• Healthy habits: Ensure you get enough rest, eat a balanced diet, and stay hydrated to strengthen your immune system.
