WRENTHAM - Attendance was normal at Delaney School Friday, one day after it was reported a second-grade student had contracted a potentially dangerous drug-resistant staph infection.

School officials notified parents of the development, but Superintendent Jeffrey Marsden said students reported for school as usual, and there were no disruptions.

"All's well here. We have attendance that's great here," he said.

The student's parents notified school officials Thursday afternoon that the child was diagnosed with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus, also known as MRSA.

Marsden said he was told by the student's parents that the infection was diagnosed quickly, and she was doing well. As a precaution, Delaney school was scrubbed down overnight Thursday with a solution of water and bleach as a precaution, although Marsden said there was no evidence the child caught the infection at the school.

The infection has hit students in a number of schools across the country.

In Dartmouth, at least three high school students have been treated for the staph infection since the start of school.

Officials sent a letter home to parents and told the cleaning staff to pay special attention to common areas of contact, including desktops, cafeteria tables and sports equipment.

A government study out this week said more than 90,000 Americans could get the "superbug" each year.
