Nurse

All students are required by law to submit an immunization record and keep it current. A medical history report is to be completed and on file for any student with specific health conditions. Students are to be kept home:

1. If the child has a contagious disease (the office should be notified of exposure to any contagious
disease). Including strep/Influenza/Impetigio/Conjuctivitis.

2. If the child has a temperature of 100 degrees or more. The temperature should be normal for at least  24 hours without medication before the student returns to school.

3. If a general condition exists, such as discharging nose or eyes, persistent cough, sore throat, or nausea, vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours. Students who become ill during the school day will be seen by the school nurse. The school nurse will be in contact with the parent. No student should go home sick without first being seen by the school nurse.  Parents/Guardians must provide the school with the names and phone numbers of alternate caregivers for their child(ren) in case they cannot be reached for emergencies or illnesses.

If a student has been sent home for fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or other communicable illness they may  not return for a full 24 hours until resolved.
