Character Ed., Respect and Safety
"Simple
words, childhood words, and you've heard it since childhood
. . . do the right thing, even when you get no credit for
it, even if you get hurt by doing the right thing. Do the
right thing when no one is watching
or will ever know about it.
You will always know." Toni

Letter
Concerning MRSA Infections
From Dr. Diane
B. Scricca, Superintendent of Schools
(October 29, 2007) On Monday, October 29th the district  received
notification that two Riverhead Central School District students
were diagnosed as having a MRSA staph infection. These students
are being successfully treated with proper antibiotics that
combat MRSA. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
is a kind of staph infection that is resistant to some commonly
used antibiotics, although other antibiotics are effective.
Staph is passed from person to person through direct contact
with skin or with contaminated items.
The Riverhead school district has been aggressive in dealing
with this health concern both before and after learning of these
cases. Our team of administrators, school nurses, director of
facilities, and athletic director has been meeting to review
preventative efforts and cleaning protocols. We have consulted
with the NYS Department of Health, other agencies, and our school
physician. >MORE

Preventive Cleaning
Practices
(October 23, 2007) In light of the recent news reports of antibiotic-resistant
staph infections, please be advised the Riverhead Central School
District has reviewed the cleaning practices as a precaution
to further reduce the possibility of a member of the school
community becoming infected.
We
currently clean the bathrooms, locker rooms, weight room, wrestling
mats and other "high touch surfaces" with the Johnson
cleaning product, Virex. Virex is a one step quanternary disinfectant
cleaner which meets the OSHA BloodBorne pathogen standards for
HBV and HIV. It also kills micro-organisms, including MRSA,
which has been linked to the recent news reports of staph infections.
