Dear Parents:
We are writing to update you on the flu situation in New Hampshire and in our school system.
For several weeks, NH has been among the states where the Centers for Disease Control is reporting widespread influenza-like illness. In addition, the NH Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is tracking school absences around the state. We know that absences due to flu-like symptoms are increasing and that health care providers’ offices are becoming much busier. In short, it is clear that the flu is in our communities, that it is spreading, and that more people will probably be affected before it peaks. Most cases of flu-like illnesses are now due to the H1N1 virus. We don’t know whether the usual, “seasonal” flu will arrive later in the fall/winter.

Moving Toward Independence
- Part of growing up is becoming more independent. Here are ways you can teach your child to rely on herself/himself as they get older:
- Invite her/him to think of areas where they can take on a bigger role. If they enjoy cooking, put them in charge of dinner once a we
- Support your middle schooler as they take on new responsibilities. For example, if they are upset about a grade, encourage them to handle the situation on their own. They could list the reasons they think they deserve a higher grade and then meet with their teacher. Remember to ask them how things went.
- Provide backup when necessary. For more serious matters, your child may need you to step-in. Suppose they are worried that their best friend is using drugs. You might help them to talk to their friend, their friend’s mother, or the school counselor.
