Control of Communicable Diseases
Please report all contagious diseases to the school as soon as possible. This is of great help when other students in the class develop symptoms. These conditions would include but are not limited to: Chicken Pox Mononucleosis Gastroenteritis Strep Throat Viral Pneumonia Measles Scarlet Fever Staph Infections German Measles Mumps Scabies Impetigo Ringworm Hepatitis Lice Pink Eye Meningitis Whooping Cough Intestinal Parasites Severe Upper Respiratory Infection
Students who are returning to school after being diagnosed with any communicable disease are asked to return with a doctor’s admit slip so as not to infect other students.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Immunization
Before a student can begin school, he/she should have proof on file in the elementary office that he/she is in compliance with the immunization requirements of the State of Mississippi. Failure to comply by the State Department of Health’s deadline will result in suspension from school until requirements are met. Immunization compliance forms can be secured through the County Health Department or your child’s pediatrician.
Field Trips
Various field trips will be taken throughout the year as part of the student’s learning experience. These are usually planned as an extension of the curriculum. In all cases, supervision will be provided by classroom teachers. Students may be required to bring money or food for some field trip activities. Students are expected to follow the same rules as if school were in session. Transportation will be provided by a Pillow bus or a chartered bus. A permission form will be sent home for each trip. A parent’s signature is required in order for the student to participate. Younger siblings are not to be included on these trips.
