Good evening Deckerville families. There is an illness going through our school community. We have students and parents who are ill. They are exhibiting similar symptoms, which include: feeling lightheaded, fever, throwing up, diarrhea, nausea, stomach ache, etc. If your child is experiencing any flu-like symptoms please keep them home tomorrow (Monday April 17). Students should also remain home for 24 hours after their last vomiting episode. Mr. Kirkpatrick and Mr. Nichol will be utilizing the sanitizing sprayers in the classrooms, media centers, cafeteria, on door handles, bathrooms, and other high touch areas. We are hoping everyone stays well.
