PLEASE SEE:
There seems to be some confusion regarding today's meetings. The 2:45 pm and the 6:00pm meeting are intended for parents of 8th graders attending the Washington DC trip next week in order to discuss the fact that the District is considering cancelling/postponing the DC trip.
***In addition, tonight's Inauguaral Ball dance at Western Middle School has been cancelled.
We have been informed by the Greenwich Department of Health that in the 6th grade at Western Middle School – to date – there have been 19 negative rapid flu tests and 15 rapid flu tests are positive for some type of flu. The flu virus rapid tests cannot determine whether it is the H1N1 virus. The positive rapid tests have been sent to the State Department of Health for further testing. As we will not have the results from the State until mid to late next week, and with guidance from medical experts, the District is seriously considering postponing and/or canceling the Western Middle School 8th grade trip to Washington, D.C. next week.....
Look Out Jim Himes Here We Come......
Will The 8th Grade Western Middle School Trip to Washington DC Still Go Forward Before Test Results Are In.

GREENWICH -- Tempers flared Friday night as
Western Middle School parents reacted to school officials' recommendation to call off an eighth-grade trip to Washington, D.C., next week amid fears of more swine flu infections among students.
During two emergency meetings with parents at the WMS auditorium Friday, school officials said they were seriously considering postponing or canceling the trip upon the urging of both town and state health officials and an independent medical consultant.
Those health professionals had expressed concern about the virus spreading among eighth-graders who may have been exposed to swine flu at school, where a sixth-grader was diagnosed with the virus on Thursday.
An infection or outbreak of the virus would be far more difficult to deal with if it occurred while students were more than a five-hour drive away in Washington, D.C., when it occurred, school officials said.
