In addition to the spread of RSV and the continuing presence of COVID-19, cold and flu season is here. This means students have a number of respiratory illnesses they might encounter at school. Let’s work together to lower the spread! Check out these tips from our local public health officials: https://www.elsegundousd.net/article/910617
