Three Ridgewood High School (RHS) freshmen were diagnosed with chickenpox this week, in addition to two more cases already diagnosed this school year, and parents are being urged to take measures as soon as possible to protect vulnerable children from the disease.
“While three cases is not considered an outbreak, this brings the total cases of chickenpox this school year to five,” said RHS nurse Maureen Morgan, in an email alert sent to parents on Thursday. “Please help us to protect your child and the RHS school community.”
