An individual in our school building has been diagnosed with Fifth disease. In most children, Fifth disease is very mild. Children may develop red ("slapped") cheeks and a lacy rash which begins on the trunk and moves outward to the arms, buttocks and thighs., which may come and go for several weeks. Many children have no symptoms. The disease is caused by the Parvovirus B19, and is spread from person to person by contact with infected respiratory secretions (droplts from the nose and throat.
Children are most contagious with Parvovirus B19 before they develop the distinctive rash of Fifth disease. At that time, they may have fever, muscle aches, and headache. Once the rash develops, however, they ar eno longger contagious, and may return to school as long as they feel well.
Some groups of people are at risk for more severe disease following infection with Parvovirus B19. These include:
If you or your child have any of the conditions listed above, you should contact your health care provider to discuss the risks of exposure.
If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse at 718-961-3480.
It is important to keep your family safe and healthy if you plan to travel to another country this summer. Getting sick during your travels can prevent you from enjoying your trip. You may also have symptoms when you return home, which can prevent you from going to work and your children from going to school. See attached memo from the NYC Department of Education for Summer Travel Tips.

A painting by rising 9th grade student, Liona Li, was chosen for the 2019 Queens Borough Arts Festival!
Liona commented about the painting, "Untitled," Being an artist has made a difference in my life by allowing me to express my thoughts and feelings in visual form. This particular artwork was focused on the idea of "stop and smell the flowers." Holding a memory of coming upon these nice flowers on my way home.
