A Note from the Nurse

Dear Parents:
Fall has arrived and with that a lot of illnesses, this is just friendly reminder from Student handbook. Please remember if your student is out for three days a doctor’s note is recommended. Always send at least a hand-written note when student returns to school.

FEVER AND COMMUNICABLE ILLNESS
Students with a temperature of 100.0◦F or higher, any condition, and/or communicable disease that presents with fever will not be allowed to attend school or a school related activity i.e. field trip until the student has been fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-suppressing medications.
Students with any diarrheal and/or vomiting will not be allowed to attend school or a school related activity until they are diarrhea/vomiting free for 24 hours without the use of diarrheal/vomiting suppressing medications.
Students with chicken pox lesions will not be allowed to attend school until the lesions become dry or if lesions are not vesicular, until 24 hours have passed with no “new” lesions occurring.
Students with conjunctivitis (pink eye), bacterial or viral, will not be allowed to attend school until a physician permission to return to school form is received or until the student is symptom free.

Please feel free to contact me for any questions.
Be Happy, Be Healthy,
