Brushy Public School

Here is this week's staff spotlight!

We have received a letter from the Oklahoma State Department of Health regarding the case of meningitis in our school.

!! IMPORTANT ‼️ Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this letter finds you well. We want to inform you about an incident that recently occurred at our school, which has raised concerns among some of our parents and students. It is essential to provide you with accurate information and assure you that we have taken all necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. We were notified that a student at our school was diagnosed with meningitis. We understand that this news may be alarming, and we want to address any concerns you may have. First and foremost, we would like to emphasize that the safety and health of our students are our top priorities, and we have been working diligently to address this situation. Upon learning of the diagnosis, we immediately initiated our emergency response protocols in collaboration with local health authorities. The affected student has received appropriate medical care, and we are in close contact with the family to provide support and guidance. I want to assure you that our school has taken proactive measures and our facilities have been thoroughly sanitized, and all commonly touched surfaces have been disinfected to ensure a clean and safe environment for our students. There are several strains of bacterial meningitis but this strain is not passed through close contact situations. Mrs. Shannon spoke with the Epidemiologist at the Oklahoma State Department of Health who contacted the treating hospital/physician. This particular strain of meningitis carries no risk to other students. If you or your child have any concerns or specific questions related to meningitis, we recommend reaching out to your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and information. We understand that this situation can be unsettling, and we are committed to maintaining open lines of communication with our school community. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our school nurse, Shannon Edwards, or our administration at 918-775-4458. We are here to provide support and address any additional questions you may have. The safety, health, and well-being of our students remain our top priorities. We will continue to work closely with local health authorities to ensure that our school is a safe and healthy environment for all. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this challenging time. Thank you for your continued trust in our school and for your support in keeping our school community safe and informed. Sincerely, Jared Armer
