The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently struck down the Safer At Home Order issued by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) in its entirety, except for that portion that applies to K-12 education (public and private). Without a statewide rule, Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC) issued its own order that continues the school closure through June 30.

As a reminder, we are in the midst of the annual cold and flu season and precautions are always warranted. Those precautions / prevention measures include:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
A list of useful resources can be found below. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s health or about the flu in general, please feel free to call your school nurse as they are also listed below.
