H1N1 Influenza A Update (新型インフルエンザ)
As will all contagious illness outbreaks, we urge our families to be aware of personal hygiene, stay informed, and have a family plan.
Remind children to wash hands after coming indoors and be aware of people sneezing and coughing when in public areas.
If your child, or any family member, has flu like symptoms please contact your local flu center (links are listed below), and also please inform the school immediately.
We are monitoring the situation here in Tokyo and will advise parents of any changes to our school schedule.
感染症の大発生に備えて、当校は皆さまに各自の衛生管理、情報収集、そして各ご家庭の対応策の検討をお願いいたします。
子どもたちには室内に入った時の手洗いの徹底と公的な場所でのくしゃみや咳に対しての注意を再確認させてください。
もしもお子様やご家族のどなたかにインフルエンザが疑われる症状が現れた場合には、お近くの感染症情報センター(下記、リンク先リスト)等にお問い合わせの上、当校にも早急にご連絡ください。
当校は東京の状況観察を続けるとともに、スクールスケジュールに変更等があれば、すぐにご連絡いたします。
