SAMPLE LETER TO PARENTS School Re-Opens #6: Use this letter to inform parents schools are re-opened.

Dear Parents,

Local/State health officials have declared the pandemic flu is under control.  Our school will open again on _________________________. At this time, students may safely return to class.

Even though school is opening, there are still some people who are sick from the flu virus.  Health officials say that pandemic flu outbreaks sometimes happen in waves.  This means more people could become sick soon again.  If more people get sick, schools may need to close again.

We will continue to give you any important information.

Because the flu can still be spread from person-to-person, please keep children who are sick at home.  Don’t send them to school.

We are looking forward to seeing your children again.
