Prevention

Flu can be easily spread from person to person and we are taking steps to reduce the spread of flu in the schools. We want to keep the school open to students and functioning in a normal manner during this flu season. But, we need parents' help to do this.

  • Teach your children to wash their hands properly
  • Teach your children not to share personal items
  • Know the signs and symptoms of the flu (fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired. Some people may also vomit or have diarrhea.
  • Keep sick children at home at least 24 hours fever-free without fever reducing medication
  • Do not send children to school if they are sick.

KANSAS SCHOOL SAFETY HOTLINE

The 1999 Kansas Legislature has appropriated funds to assist the State Department of Education, in cooperation with the Kansas Highway Patrol, in establishing a school safety hotline. This hotline is a toll free number available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to give students, parents, and community members the opportunity to report any impending school violence. As you are aware, students usually have knowledge of potential school violence before it occurs. This hotline would give students the opportunity to anonymously report any potential violence.

The Kansas School Safety Hotline Number is 1-877-626-8203

Personnel at the Salina Central Dispatch of the Kansas Highway Patrol will answer the hotline number. The dispatchers will get as much information about each situation reported as the caller wishes to relay. Upon receipt of a call, the dispatchers will notify appropriate law enforcement agencies and/or the office of the superintendent of schools depending upon the severity of the situation.

If you have questions concerning the Hotline, please contact:

Dale M. Dennis, Deputy, Commissioner of Education
120 East Tenth Street, Topeka, Kansas 66612-1182
Telephone: (785) 296-3871 / FAX: (785) 296-0459
E-mail: ddennis@ksde.org
