Strep
Throat has
been reported in your student’s grade level
at Harlan School. The invasion
period may be 1-3 days after
exposure.
Observe your child for symptoms
during this period. Keep your child home
if he/she shows signs of illness.
Attacks of this disease may vary in severity, some may be very
mild. Either severe or mild cases may
have serious complications. It is
usually from mild attacks that the disease spreads because the parent does not
recognize the disease and fails to call the physician.
Cases of Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria,
Smallpox, Tuberculosis, Infectious Hepatitis, Typhoid Fever and Salmonella
(intestinal infections) should be reported to the Health Department
immediately. Children who have recovered
from these diseases, except Scarlet Fever, must have clearance through the
Department of Health in order to return to school.
