This year, in additional to monitoring student attendance, schools are being asked to collect more information about the student illness. As part of the Health Department's tracking of Influenza Like Illness in Howard County, schools are required to report numbers of student illness and symptoms.  

If your child is absent from school because of illness, please contact the school on the first day of the absence and provide the following information:

*  Your child's name

*  The date

*  Symptoms of influenza like illness:  i.e. 100° F or greater, cough sore throat

*  Before returning to school, students need to be fever free for 24 hours without using        tylenol or ibuprofen (motrin, advil).

You may contact the school using one of the following options:

Phone:410-313-2856 or 410-313-2533
