Health Forms and Policies

Illness or Injury at School:

If a child should become sick or is injured while at school, the nurse will administer first aid as necessary to prevent further complications. Note, by law, a nurse cannot administer any medication without the written permission of a parent and an order from a medical doctor, nor can she make a medical diagnosis of an illness or injury.

If a child becomes ill or injured at school, a parent or guardian will be notified to pick the student up from school. A child that develops a fever over 100 ° F and/or has had 2 or more episodes of vomiting or diarrhea cannot remain in school. It is recommended that any student who becomes ill or injured while at school, is evaluated by a doctor.

Illness or Injuries When at Home: 

If your child is sick before leaving for school, please keep him/her at home that day. 

In order to attend school a student must be:

• Fever free for 24 hours, this means; less than 100 ° F, without the use of fever reducing medicines-such as Tylenol or Motrin.

• Should not have vomited or had diarrhea and be tolerating regular foods for 24 hours before returning to school.

• If being treated for an infection, s/he needs to be on the antibiotic for 24 hours and symptoms improve before returning to school.

Your child will not be permitted to attend school if:

• She/he has a sore throat with fever, is wheezing (not relieved by prescribed medication), has a frequent cough or sneezing, or a very stuffy/runny nose and is unable to manage it in a way that protects the rest of the class from exposure.

• She/he has conjunctivitis (pink eye), head or body lice, impetigo, scabies, unusual skin rash. Any of these conditions must be treated before return to school. A doctor’s note will be required.

Physical Education:

If a student is unable to participate in physical education classes, a medical excuse by a doctor must be presented to the nurse's office. 

Absences:

Parents/guardians are to call the main office or nurses office to report all student absences.
