Attendance in the Coeur d'Alene School District averaged 95.6 % on October 28, the highest attendance since Sept. 24.

No building was below 92.8 %, other than Bridge Academy which may not have an accurate report due to student transitions.

Our three middle schools that were hard-hit by illness are all above 95% now, and Sorensen and Winton, which also had lots of absenteeism in mid-October,  were at 95.7 % and 96.2 %, respectively, on Oct. 28.

H1N1 flu immunization clinics were completed at all elementary schools except Skyway, Sorensen, Winton and Kinder Center. Panhandle Health District is hoping to receive enough vaccine to resume clinics at those elementary schools in mid-November, and then conduct clinics at the three middle schools and the high schools in early December.

Elementary students whose parents signed consent forms will automatically be vaccinated on the new dates. Packets for middle and high schools will be sent home a week before those clinics. Parents who wish the vaccine for their child are asked to return the permission form immediately so the Health District can schedule the appropriate number of nurses and vaccine doses. There is no charge for the vaccine.
