ADDISON, Texas — Greenhill School in Addison is cancelling classes for some students due to what they call a "flu-like illness."
The private school is reporting a high number of students that were absent because of the virus.
Classes were canceled this Thursday and Friday (Oct. 27 and Oct. 28) for students in the 7th through 12th grade. In a statement to WFAA, a representative said the decision was made with help from Dallas County Health and Human Services.
School officials were hoping that canceling classes will help reduce the spread of the virus and give sick students time to recover.
