**ATTENTION: TWS FAMILIES**

We continue to have children and adults in The Williams School who are exhibiting symptoms of the norovirus. These symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The best way for us to defend ourselves from this illness is through pro-active steps. These include personal hygiene, keeping common surfaces sanitized, and removing infected individuals from the main flow until they are not contagious. For those reasons we are: Including information below from the CDC and the VDH on preventative steps to take. www.cdc.gov/norovirus/preventing-infection.html, www.vdh.virginia.gov/Epidemiology/factsheets/pdf/ Norovirus.pdf. Continuing to detail clean our school with sanitizing cleaning agents. Directing students who have been infected to not return to school for a full 24 hours after they have been symptom free. While we recognize that missing school is difficult on everyone we appreciate your support as we work through this stressful time.
