The Dallas County Health and Human Services Department has notified Dallas ISD that a student from Daniel Webster Elementary School has a confirmed case of the swine flu.

In order to limit the opportunity for this virus to continue to spread, Daniel Webster Elementary School will be closed beginning tomorrow, May 1, until at least Monday, May 11, for the protection of our students and staff. Parents are welcome to pick up their children today if they would like. The school will remain open for the remainder of the day and buses will continue to run on schedule.

Dallas ISD officials continue to work closely with Dallas County Health officials to monitor any illnesses that are reported in our schools. If any students or staff have any flu-like symptoms (fever, achiness, coughing, diarrhea, or sore throat), please see a physician immediately for a flu test and report any positive findings to a school nurse.
