JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There are two confirmed cases of the H1N1 virus, one at Bishop Kenny High School and another at neighboring Assumption Catholic School, which has students from pre-K to eighth grade.

Classes at both schools just started last week.

Bishop Kenny principal Todd Orlando said the infected high school student is at home recovering.

The school is now alerting all teachers to educate students about taking precautions.

Most public schools in the area start classes on Monday, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, schools everywhere can expect to see a lot more swine flu cases in the coming months.

Administrators at Bishop Kenny said they weren't surprised to get a case of swine flu confirmed in one of their students, even in just the first week of school.

Administrators said they don't know any details on the student, except that the student is resting at home.

Orlando said their first case was confirmed after the school nurse noticed flu-like symptoms Wednesday.

On Thursday, the student's doctor confirmed it was the H1N1 virus.

Orlando said there isn't any testing being done because "it's more reactive. We're obviously alerted now. I informed the faculty before school started and we're looking for flu-like symptoms."

The news quickly spread to students and then their parents as the school day wrapped up.

"It would have been nice to know about it, but it's going to happen I guess," school parent Georgette Tobin said, adding that it's not serious enough to pull students out of school."

"Every parent's concerned for the health of their students," school parent Paul Barrea added. "We'll keep them in school."

So the school is putting out word to everyone to take precautions, like washing your hands regularly and coughing or sneezing with a tissue or into your arm.

In the meantime, the staff is making a video for students on how to protect themselves. The school will remain open, and no classes have been canceled.

Orlando said administrators expected to get cases and had planned for it, so for now, they're just watching out for symptoms.

"We've only been in school a week," Orlando said, "and if a parent calls us about flu-like symptoms, we encourage them to keep students home and if at all possible get to the doctor."
