*** Informational Update ***

Verdigris Schools would like to thank its patrons for their continued support of this student and their family.

Parents / Guardians,

It has come to our attention that a student in our school district is being treated for an unconfirmed case of Viral Meningitis.  Viral Meningitis is typically treatable and not as serious as Bacterial Meningitis.  Verdigris Public Schools has been in contact with the Rogers County Health Department.  The District has taken, and will continue to take the appropriate steps in cleaning all buildings as a preventative measure to ensure the safety of our students and staff.  Attached is a link to the Center for Disease Control and the Oklahoma State Department of Health.  These links will provide additional information about Viral Meningitis.  Again, please note that this is an unconfirmed case of Viral Meningitis.
