No student may keep medication or other forms of prescribed drugs on his or her person, or in his or her personal belongings. Parents should deliver all medicine to the school secretary or principal with written instructions for administering. Any student possessing medication, which has not been turned in or reported to the office, will be guilty of a serious breach of school regulations and could be subject to disciplinary action. It is highly recommended that students who take daily ADD/ADHD medication have a couple of extra doses at school labeled with the student’s name. This will remain in a safe locked location until needed. This is a method of ensuring that your child has a good day at school, and you do not have to make an unscheduled return trip.
Request to stay Inside at Recess
It is our judgment that if a child is well enough to come to school, he or she is well enough to participate in the daily program. Exceptions are made in cases in which the student’s physician sends a written request that a child be excused from outdoor activities due to illness or injury. In extremely cold weather, indoor recesses are scheduled.
Pink Eye
Students must be treated with prescribed eye drops 24 hours before attending school.
Head Lice
A child who has been sent home with head lice must bring official documentation from a physician’s office or Lice Clinic 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 “ NO NIT ” 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 .
