Verndale Public Schools – Health Update: Measles Awareness

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has reported measles cases in Minnesota. At this time, Verndale Public Schools has NO reported cases of measles. This notice is simply a precaution to keep families informed.

Measles is highly contagious, with symptoms including fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash.

We encourage families to check their child’s MMR vaccination status and monitor for symptoms. If you suspect measles, please keep your child home and contact your healthcare provider before visiting a clinic.

Should an exposure occur, we will work closely with local public health officials and MDH to ensure appropriate precautions are taken.

Thank you for helping keep our Pirate community healthy and safe!

🚌💛 School Bus Safety Starts With ALL of Us! 💚🖤

Keeping our Pirate students safe is a responsibility we all share! Whether you're a student riding the bus, a parent waiting at the bus stop, or a driver sharing the road, we all play an important role in making sure our students get to and from school safely. 🏫

🚦 A few important reminders:
🚌 Slow down when you see flashing amber lights.
🛑 STOP when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
👀 Stay alert and watch for students entering or exiting the bus.
💚 Students, always listen to your bus driver and practice safe bus behavior!

We encourage all Pirate families to take a moment to review these important safety reminders together!

A child's safety is worth the stop! 🚌💛
