Measles, Chickenpox and Shingles

Dear Parents

Re: Measles, Chicken Pox and Shingles

Please may we ask for your cooperation. One of our pupils is receiving medical treatment. The treatment puts the pupil at risk if exposed to measles, chicken pox or shingles.

If you suspect your child has measles you should let the school know immediately.

Our pupil is also at risk from chicken pox and would need to be given treatment within three days of contact. Please let us know immediately if you suspect that your child has chicken pox. It is also very important that you let us know if anyone in your household has shingles.

Your own child is not at any risk whatsoever from this situation. However, the health and wellbeing of our pupil having treatment may be at serious risk. We depend on the co-operation of all parents and know we can rely on your help.

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Hunter
