It is mid-week already. Things have remained about the same in West Prairie since I last posted on Friday. Overall, our absentees due to illness are still under ten percent each day. We appreciate that parents and guardians are keeping the children home when they are sick.
The state board of education's annual superintendent conference was Tuesday and Wednesday morning this week. Flu or flu-like illness is not everywhere across the state, but where it hits, it seems to move fast and many become ill.
We are continuing to urge our students and staff to wash hands, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when ill.
