We immediately passed this information on to you for the safety of your students and our staff, as required by state guidelines. Although the student is still recovering, further investigation by state health authorities and additional lab results, just made available today, show that the student was not infected with bacterial meningitis. While this is great news, we continue to emphasize the importance of practicing good hygiene to prevent the spread of any illnesses. Continued Precautions: - Please remind your children to: - Wash their hands frequently. - Avoid sharing drinks, food, or personal items such as water bottles. - Cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. We remain committed to keeping our school community safe and healthy and thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Our thoughts remain with the student and wish the student a speedy recovery.  Henderson ISD

*** Confirmed case of bacterial meningitis confirmed in HHS student*** We have been notified that a Henderson High School student has a confirmed case of bacterial meningitis. Out of an abundance of caution, we are notifying all of our families in the district. We ask you to join us in being proactive to ensure the health and safety of all our students. *** What You Should Know About Bacterial Meningitis:*** Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. It typically spreads through close contact, such as coughing, sneezing, or sharing drinks or personal items and not through casual contact. The early symptoms can include: Severe headache High fever Stiff neck Nausea and vomiting Sensitivity to light Confusion or difficulty concentrating Most students should receive a vaccination for bacterial meningitis around the age of 11, which can provide some protection against this illness. However, it’s still important to be aware of the symptoms and seek medical attention if your child shows any signs of illness. ***What To Do:*** If your high school child shows any of the symptoms mentioned above, please seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical. Bacterial meningitis can be life-threatening, but with prompt care, it is treatable. Please remind your children to practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing and not sharing personal items like water bottles, especially after athletic activities. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your primary care physician. ***Steps we have taken:*** We have already notified the local health authorities and are following their recommendations, which include enhanced cleaning protocols in areas such as locker rooms, athletic facilities and other common areas. We are also closely monitoring students and staff for any signs of illness and will update you with additional information when it becomes available. Our thoughts remain with the student and wish the student a speedy recovery.
