COMMUNICABLE OR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Parents of students with a communicable or contagious disease are asked to telephone the school nurse so that other students who have been exposed to
the disease can be alerted.  Students with certain diseases are not allowed to attend school while their disease is contagious.  These include chicken pox, mumps, measles, ringworm of the scalp, lice, fever, and pink eye.

HEALTH CLINIC
The school nurse is responsible for health records, hygiene counseling, and general medical conditions.  She keeps records of students’ health and weight and does vision and hearing screenings on students.

Please do not send your child to school if he/she is ill or has a temperature of 100 degreesor above.  The health and safety of all children will be enhanced by following these guidelines. Your child must be 24 hours free of fever or throwing-up before they return to school.  If a child is sent home ill they may return the same day if they have a doctor’s release or are cleared by the nurse.

Long hair should be in ponytail or braids.

If your child becomes ill, you or someone designated by you will be contacted to pick up your child.  It is imperative that all phone numbers be completed on the enrollment card and be updated immediately should they change during the year.

HEALTH ASSESSMENT

  1. Vision and hearing screening will be done for all Preschool, K, 1st, 3rd graders and all students new to the district. 
  2. If your child has had an injury outside of school please have them come to the office first to be assessed.  We will need to have a doctor’s note for care at school and for activity orders.  For example, casts, crutches, etc.
  3. If your child has a surgery scheduled or returns from having surgery, please come to the school nurse’s office to be assessed.
