ILLNESSES

General Health Guidelines

Please do not send your child to school if he or she exhibits any of the following symptoms: ●​ Fever of 99 Degrees or higher

●​ Nausea ●​ Diarrhea ●​ Vomiting ●​ Symptoms of other illnesses ​

Students are NOT to return to school until they have been clear of fever for a minimum of 24 hours.

Illness during the School Day

If a student becomes ill during school hours, the teacher will send them to the office. ​ The student may be given approved medication (if a medical form is on file) or the secretary/principal may feel that it is necessary to contact the parent. The student is not to leave the school campus, for any reason, without permission from the office.

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.

Administering Medication to Students

Parents are asked to give medication before and after school when possible. In the exceptional case when a student must take medicine at school, it will be given ONLY if a notarized medical form is on file. Parents of a child with any allergies and/or any special medical restrictions or needs should give this information in writing to the school secretary or principal at the beginning of the school year or as soon as possible. 45
