We live in a smaller community without much threats of safety. The school does send students home if they are sick, but sometimes they tell them to stay. Some students also come to school when sick and spread it to others.

Grand View is in its own little world here. I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt on campus. Other than the few sport injuries!
