ly sanitize Washington ElementarySchool over the weekend and againMonday.

We do not knowhow many students were affected byillness, as not all parents tell us whytheir child is not in school. Those thatdid ranged from illness to vacation.
Kristen McMaster, the schools prin-cipal, sent a letter to parents Fridayafternoon explaining the situation.She said the staff was doing its part inclassrooms to sanitize desks and rein-
force hand washing.We have contacted the Wayne
County Health Department and arefollowing proper procedures for clean-ing and sanitizing the building,McMaster said in the letter. If yourchild is having flulike symptoms,
please contact our office so we canmonitor the number of students withthese symptoms.
The principal asked parents andguardians to keep their children homeat least 24 hours if flulike symptomsappear and to follow up with theirpediatrician. She also requestedthey remind their children about theimportance of regularly washing theirhands.
Harting said the districts opera-tions department did a thoroughcleaning over the weekend and wasexpected to do more cleaning Mondaynight.
