H1N1 Influenza

The New Caney Independent School District is closely monitoring all information from the Center for Disease Control, Department of State Health Services and our local Health Department officials concerning H1N1 influenza. All school personnel will remind our students and staff to wash their hands frequently and practice good hygiene. NCISD requests anyone who has symptoms of the flu to use good judgment, stay home, and consult your family doctor.

Everyday reminders about good health habits to prevent the spread of germs:

* Wash your hands frequently.

*Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

*Cough or sneeze into your sleeve if no tissue is available.

* Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

*Stay home when you are sick.

* Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
