LYONS, Ill. (FOX 32 News) -

An elementary school in suburban Chicago closed for cleaning Thursday after nearly a third of the students were out sick the day before.

Students at Robinson Elementary in Lyons got sick from what health officials say is most likely the Norovirus. With so many kids out, Lyons Superintendent Mary Jo Vladika said she'd rather be safe than sorry.

Health is the number one priority for her students. That's why she had the school closed, cleaned and sanitized for a fresh start Friday.

“I thought I was going to miss something really important,” student Lebonnie Garcia said.

Elvia Garcia's daughter is a third grader at Robinson Elemnetary and she was just one of the 80 students out sick Wednesday.

“It was Tuesday night around midnight she started throwing up. She threw up a couple of times," Garcia said.
