Foothills School Division recognizes and understands the interest and concern of parents as we face Influenza-Like-Illness (ILI) and Pandemic H1N1 2009 this season.  To remain informed as we move through the 2009 - 2010 school year, a variety of resources for your reference has been made available here.

As information becomes available to Foothills School Division from Alberta Health Services or the Minister of Education, updates to this web page will be provided.
