Swine Flu Update:  As many of you have read in the newspapers and heard on the news, the swine flu has become a significant public health concern.  At the present time, five cases have been confirmed in Ventura County. The Moorpark Unified School District and Ventura County Public Health are asking residents to take precautionary measures to avoid any potential risks.  Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, ideally with your elbow or sleeve.  If you feel sick, please stay home.  Wash your hands often and use hand sanitizer as needed; all classrooms in the District have Hand Clens foam dispensing bottles.  Updated 5/4/09
