Health officials have stated time and again that proper handwashing is a top defense against cold and flu season. Currently, the restrooms for students, faculty and visitors at P.S. 58 are not being maintained with soap and towels to aid in this basic but very important health & hygiene measure. The recent notice sent home regarding students being treated for the flu, one of which is a confirmed H1N1 case (a.k.a Swine Flu), is a reminder that we must continue to let our concerns be known to the principal and school officials, and that it is imperative to have all restrooms, not just the classrooms, stocked with soap, towels and running water.

I spent the morning speaking with other parents who are terrified by the lack of basic hygiene supplies while our children are getting sick. The school administration remains silent on our requests but we are preparing to take our concerns directly to the district office next.

Seeing this momentum grow brings me a sense of relief because my own child is currently sitting in those classrooms. It feels like the school administration is finally starting to understand that our health is not just a suggestion.

My daughter caught that bug last week and it was awful. The school needs to step up and keep the bathrooms clean.

I dont get why the parents have to complain about this. Keep soap in the dispensers. Period.

How is this even a thing?? Soap is basic. Stop cutting corners on our kids health.

My son came home talking about how there is literally never any soap in the bathrooms. That is just nasty. Fix it.

Unacceptable. Keeping germs away is the bare minimum for a school.

Swine flu is no joke. Cant believe we even have to ask for soap while there is an outbreak going around.
