It's really about the same number. The nurse's office is not nearly as crowded today as it was Monday. They're busy, don't get me wrong, but they're not as busy as yesterday. I'm sure everything will get back to normal in the next day or so.
Any time students are absent, they get extra time to make up things they're missed. Practices just started for our spring sports (but) our coaches are aware of the sickness going around.
Our teachers really cooperate with each other, and if somebody is absent and we don't have a sub, they're great about covering for each other.
This would be more normal for a Wednesday or Thursday when the kids have been together for a few days.
We've had an increased amount of staff absent. The substitutes are often in different schools and in different school districts so they are sometimes more vulnerable because they work in a variety of places.
