Letter from Principal
Director
Community Health Department
Dear Director:
I want to alert you to a possible health problem affecting students at the Truman Middle School. On Wednesday, May 20th, 15 students were sent to the nurse with flu like symptoms. The symptoms included but were not limited to slow movement, slurred speech and violent tendencies. They were sent home and have not returned to school. I just had a discussion with the director of our student band, Officer Willis. He told me that in his class on Wednesday, May 20, one-third of his students were absent. There have also been multiple sightings of these missing students in and around campus acting abnormally. Today, in Mrs. Arviso’s classroom, there was a call to the nurse about a sick child. The child was unstoppably coughing and projectile vomiting. By the time the nurse got to the classroom, we had evacuated all students from the room. The nurse entered the room and was attacked by said student. Now the nurse is showing signs of similar symptoms.
This situation reminds me of last year when we had a widespread outbreak of the flu. Can you help us determine if we should be concerned? If there is a problem, can you suggest measures we might take to prevent or contain the disease?
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Peter Hastings
Principal, Truman Middle School
