To Parents:

In cooperation with the Denton County Health Department and its assessment of the
increasing number of probable cases of H1N1 (swine flu), Type A and Influenza-like
illnesses within our district, the health department supports the district-wide closing of
school from Monday, May 4 through Friday, May 8. Students and staff will not have to
makeup days lost due to the swine flu school closures.

Symptoms of the swine flu are similar to the regular seasonal flu. Swine flu symptoms include: high fever of 100.5 or higher, severe headache, muscle and body aches, chills, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea. If your child has any of these symptoms, please call your child's doctor immediately.

Our district’s top priority is the safety and welfare of our students and staff; and therefore we are taking the Denton County Heath Department’s directives seriously. We recognize that closing our schools will cause a hardship for our families; however, we want to ensure our schools are safe and conducive learning environments.

Continue to visit our district’s website at www.LISD.net for updates. If you have any
questions, please feel free to call the district’s Communications Office at 469.948.8152.
