Parents,

The health and safety of your children is our top priority. Our school health personnel are in constant contact with the Florida Department of Health about health concerns across our country and around the world, including the flu and Coronavirus.

We want to make sure you are aware there are no reported cases of Coronavirus in Hillsborough County or Florida.

We are calling to provide you with steps your family can take when it comes to protecting against any known viruses or sicknesses.

This includes washing hands often, ensuring your child is up to date on all immunizations and if your child is sick, keeping them home from school.

This message is not to alarm you, but to inform you that our district is remaining vigilant as we monitor the situation and seek information to further protect your children.

Although there are no cases reported in Florida, this is a rapidly evolving situation and our district is engaged with the Department of Health in Hillsborough County to review our strategies and plans in how the community would respond to a case. We will be working closely together to identify the best options should a case be detected in Hillsborough County.

The best information is available on the Department of Health’s website at FLHealth.gov. You will find FAQ’s, Facts Sheets and other important information.

Please see the attached documents for more information.

Thank you
