On 5-11-10 we received notification of a confirmed “breakthrough” case of Varicella (Chickenpox) in 5th grade. Chickenpox is spread from person to person through direct contact with the pox of an infected person, or by droplets expelled when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. For more information see the School Health home page or “Nurse Notes” on your children’s class room page on Edline.
