Achoo! Help Prevent the Spread of Illness and Flu

The start of the spring semester often brings a spike in flu and viral illnesses on campus. For tips on keeping students healthy, please read School Nurse Jane Kavanagh's suggestions, here.

Uniforms and Fournace Street Closure
Uniforms:  Parker School Uniforms has closed all of their stores and has shut down their website. We are conducting a search for a secondary uniform supplier and will post information on our website as the selection is finalized. Our primary supplier continues to be Lands' End.
Fournace Street Closure: The southbound Fournace Street exit on 610 is closed through January 27. Recommended solutions include detouring  via the Hidalgo St. exit. Turn south on Post Oak Blvd. and continue on to IH-610 West Loop southbound frontage road to Fournace Pl. An alternate detour is via the Bellaire Blvd. exit. Take the U-Turn back to Fournace Place.
