Oy vey.
Any confirmed cases there?
its a regular flu nothing to be worried about just ask your regular Doc. I don’t understand why YWN as adding fuel by covering it as breaking news.
no confirmed cases, i don’t get it, if they’re closing the high school because of precautionary measures, why keep the elementary and preschool open, this just doesn’t make sense!! i have a feeling the school took the opportunity to close a day early for yom tov and was embarrassed with its decision so it blamed it on swine flu!! If this is the case, and i strongly suspect it to be, shame on them for alarming the community!!!
Hey isha ksheira,
I do not know any details of this story yet, although I have several relatives in the school. But, you took a broad swipe at the school, possibly being choished biksheirim.
I think your “isha kesheiraness” status, is on hold, unless you are proven to be right -:)
yochi, you may have relatives, but i have children there. i kept my other kids home for precautionary measures!
Its common knowledge that Bais Brocha gives off the least! BTW: There are some cases of the flu in the High School only.
There are 3 confirmed cases in the tenth grade. The elementary school stayed open because none of these three have siblings in the elementary division.
Also, the H.S. is in a different building!
