Spring 2020 China Exchange Visit CANCELLED

1/23/2020

 
To all concerned,

The most recent outbreak of Coronavirus in China is the subject of significant concern enough to merit a meeting of the World Health Organization in Geneva Switzerland. There have been at least 17 deaths attributed to this virus. On January 23, USA TODAY reported that “The head of the World Health Organization said Wednesday its emergency committee needed more information before it was ready to declare the deadly global coronavirus virus outbreak a public health emergency, even as the hard-hit Chinese city of Wuhan shut down all air and train traffic to try to contain its spread.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/01/22/wuhan-china-coronavirus-outbreak-death-toll-public-health-emergency/4539750002/.

Meanwhile this morning, the New York Times reports that China has expanded travel restrictions to 2 more cities as the outbreak grows. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/23/world/asia/china-coronavirus.html?campaign_id=60&instance_id=0&segment_id=20565&user_id=26351c8202441f64d429ffac4445e987&regi_id=101250646.
I have consulted the Center for Disease Control for direct information. While they have conveyed the risk of infection through the student exchange program travel is low, there is also undoubtedly increased risk because of the potential exposure of international travel.

Venus Middle School has been very excited to host our wonderful guests from Zhangjiagang. However, in the best interest of the health of both our guests from China and our own students and community, I feel it is prudent to cancel the spring 2020 student visit from China. This would protect our friends in Zhangjiagang from potential exposure through airport and airplane travel, as well as protect our Venus community from the same dangers.
I eagerly look forward to re-scheduling the student exchange for a date in the near future, when the health concern is contained. My goal would be to allow these same students to make this trip, possibly even as early as fall of 2020.  
 
Sincerely,
 
James Hopper
Superintendent, Venus ISD.

Estimados padres,
La temporada de resfriados y gripe está sobre nosotros y ya hemos tenido varios estudiantes enfermos de resfriados, gripe y faringitis estreptocócica.
Para prevenir la gripe / estreptococo generalizada en nuestra escuela, recomendamos que su hijo se quede en casa en vez de venir a la escuela si experimentan síntomas de gripe o resfriado. Para decidir si no debe enviar a su hijo a la escuela, tenga en cuenta las siguientes pautas:

Considere mantener a su hijo en casa para un día extra de descanso y observación si él o ella tiene alguno de los siguientes síntomas:
  • Nariz muy tapada o mocosa/tos • Dolor de garganta leve (sin fiebre, sin exposición conocida a estreptococo • Dolor de cabeza • dolor de estómago leve

Mantenga a su hijo en casa para recibir tratamiento y observación si él o ella tiene alguno de estos síntomas:
  • Fiebre (más de 100 grados) su hijo puede regresar a la escuela solo después de que su temperatura haya sido constantemente inferior a 100 grados por la boca durante un mínimo de 24 horas sin medicina. • Vómitos (incluso una vez) • Diarrea • Resfriado • Malestar general o sensaciones de fatiga incomodidad debilidad o dolores musculares • frecuente congestionado (mojado) • mucha congestión nasal con frecuente soplo de la nariz
 
Para ayudar a prevenir la gripe y otros resfriados, enséñele a sus hijos buenos hábitos de higiene:
  • Lávese las manos frecuentemente • No toques los ojos, la nariz o la boca • Cúbrase la boca y la nariz al estornudar o toser con un pañuelo de papel, tírelo y luego lávese las manos. • Evite el contacto cercano con personas o está enfermo
 
Por favor no envíe a su hijo a la escuela con medicamentos en sus bolsillos o mochilas (esto incluye pastillas para la tos). Si su hijo necesita que le administren medicamentos en algún momento durante el día escolar, debe llevar el medicamento a la escuela y completar un formulario de administración para la enfermera.
 
Gracias por ayudar a que este año escolar sea lo más saludable posible.
