Student Illness:

Regarding student illness:  All students should stay home when feeling sick and individuals who come to school or work with symptoms of an illness may be isolated and sent home.  Students and staff should not attend school in the following circumstances:

• Signs of severe illness, including fever, irritability, difficulty breathing, crying that doesn’t stop with the usual comforting, or extreme sleepiness.

• Diarrhea (3 or more episodes of loose stools in 24 hours). An individual must be diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of diarrhea suppressing medications.

• Vomiting two or more times in 24 hours, unless a physician feels the cause of vomiting is not an infectious disease and the individual is in no danger of becoming dehydrated. An individual should have one or two meals without vomiting before returning to school. A student or staff member may be sent home from school for vomiting one time.

• Temperature of 100 degrees or above. An individual must have a temperature below 100 degrees for 24 hours before returning to school without taking a fever reducing medication.

• Questionable rash until a physician has determined the rash is not caused by an infectious disease.

• Known communicable disease must be treated for the appropriate amount of time as directed by a physician.

• Recommendation of a physician or school nurse.

Communicable Disease:

Students who have a known communicable disease must be treated for the appropriate amount of time as directed by a physician. 

Please feel free to contact me at any time - the Clinic is open from 8:30-4:45 school days.

All the best,

Nurse Braun
