Health Policy

In order to maintain a healthy environment, we ask that you not bring children to school if they are showing signs of illness. A quick daily health check will be conducted by a teacher upon the arrival of your child.
 
If your child becomes ill during school hours, you will be contacted immediately and requested to pick him or her up. If we cannot reach either parent, we will call a contact listed on the child’s emergency form.
 
Please keep children home to rest if they show any of the following symptoms:
 

• A temperature greater than 99 degrees (under arm) within the past 24 hours
• Discharge from eyes, red/itchy  eyes
• Stomach ache
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• Any rash or skin lesion that blisters
• Excessive signs of a cold, tiredness, sore throat, runny nose, sneezing, or coughing

 
Children cannot be admitted into the school with signs of a communicable disease.  Children must be free from a fever for at least 24 hours before returning to school. 


School Reporting Policy
It is our intent to build a partnership with parents to help them provide the most suitable environment possible for children.  Toward this goal, we have many resources and referrals available to parents upon request.  It is important, also, for parents to be aware that state laws require any and all incidents of suspected child abuse or neglect to be reported to the appropriate agency.
