Dear Parents and Students,

The Fairfax County Health Department recommends that students with influenza-like symptoms (fever with a cough or sore throat) stay AT HOME and OUT OF SCHOOL until at least 24 HOURS after they are free of fever, or signs of fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines.

If students have influenza-like symptoms, they SHOULD NOT participate in ANY school activities or be out in the community except to seek medical attention. If a student appears to have influenza-like illness when he or she arrives at school, a parent or guardian will be notified and asked to pick up the student.

When calling the AHS Attendance Office to report a student absence, parents should provide SPECIFIC INFORMATION about their student's reason for absence. Please be SPECIFIC as to a physician's diagnosis.

Please keep students who are sick at home. With 2662 students enrolled at AHS, your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

John Ponton Principal
