First Aid
If minor first aid is necessary, it will be administered by the secretary, principal, or a teacher. For more severe injuries, parents, emergency contacts, or an ambulance will be called depending on the severity of the situation.
Head Lice
A child who has been sent home with head lice must bring official documentation from the physician’s office stating that treatment has been administered and there are no nits present before the child can be readmitted to school. Pillow Academy adheres to a strict “ NONIT ”policy. In past years, over-the-counter products have proven to be very ineffective in treating these easily transmitted parasites.
Fever and Other Symptoms
If your child has fever, nausea, or other symptoms of sickness, please do not send him or her to school. A child must be free of fever for 24 hours before returning to school .
