Advance notice - system down 11/17/09

The city of St. George is doing some electrical work in the early morning hours of Tuesday, November 17th.  The resulting power outage WILL affect the HASIP servers, both on the public website and the intranet system (Confluence and your "tunnel").  If you are unable to login to Confluence, if your tunnel goes dark, or if you are trying to reach the public website unsuccessfully - don't be alarmed.  Our servers will be back online as soon as power is restored in this part of the city.

Because I just can't help myself...

Flu!

Flu, whether it's the "regular" seasonal variety or H1N1, is destined to have a major impact on our classrooms this year.  In particular, H1N1 is more likely to affect young people - our students.  According to the Centers for Disease Control:

Young people continue to be hit especially hard by the 2009 H1N1 virus.  More than half of the hospitalizations from 2009 H1N1 flu reported by 27 states from September 1^st and October 10^th were people age 24 and younger.  About 23 percent of the deaths reported from 28 states during this period were in this age group.


Please be sure to take care of yourself and your students!  For information and resources, check out UEN's suggestions and links, or the federal government's extensive site.


Stay healthy!
