Cold, Flu, & Virus Reminders
A fever is 100.4 or above. Your child should not come to school with a temperature of 100.4 or over. We want your children in school but not if they are sick!
Please use the following guidelines to help stop the spread of illnesses in our school.
Your children’s health is foremost on our minds.
Please keep your child home from school if he/she has a fever (often a temperature of 100.4 or higher signals an illness or contagion). Your child must be fever-free for a full 24 hours before returning to school, without the use of a fever-reducing medication, such as Tylenol, Motrin, or Advil.
Please keep your child home if he/she vomited or had diarrhea the night before or the morning of school. Please maintain the 24-hour rule; vomit-free and/or diarrhea-free; as well as being able to tolerate a regular diet for 24 hours before the child can return to school.
Please give your child a full 24 hours at home, once placed on antibiotics for contagious diseases such as: strep throat, bronchitis, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and impetigo.
Please keep your child home if they exhibit flu-like symptoms. Contact your child’s provider for: fever accompanied by chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle pain, fatigue, persistent vomiting, and diarrhea.
Additionally, please keep your child home if:
The cough is not under control. (Please note; cough drops, and over-the-counter cough medicine, require a doctor’s note in school).
Thank you for adhering to these guidelines and for helping maintain a healthy school environment for our children.
Medications
If your child needs to take any medicine at school, your health care provider must complete a “medication at school” form and you must sign it as well. This form needs to be completed every year. No medications cannot be given without a signed form!
All medications must be brought to school by an adult. It is against NYS law to have children carry medication on the school bus.
Physical Reminders
New York State requires a Physical completed by a health care provider. (Physicals are now required for grades K, 1, 3, 5, 7,9, and 11.) This should include the most recent copy of immunizations.
