ALERT!
All Schools Closed Monday & Tuesday
Upon the recommendation of the Washington County Department of Health & Human Services, all schools in the Forest Grove School District will be closed Monday and Tuesday, May 3-4, due to concern over the spread of H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu. The Forest Grove Community School will also be closed. One probable case of H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) has been reported at Cornelius Elementary School, and health officials said there are other suspected cases at other schools in the district. Cornelius Elementary School will remain closed all week, May 4-8. District administration, in conjunction with county health officials, will decide Tuesday whether other schools in the district will be able to reopen Wednesday. All sports, clubs and other school activities at all schools are cancelled for Monday and Tuesday. Students are asked not to congregate in other settings or at any of the school playgrounds on those days. By closing for two days, the district and health officials will be able to better determine whether the virus has spread and whether it’s necessary to close schools longer, said Superintendent Jack Musser.
