Handbook and policies

From the Health Room:

In an effort to decrease the spread of contagious illness at school, the school district would like to remind you of the following:

• If your student has fever, they must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school (this means without the use of fever reducing medications). Fever is defined as a temperature of 100.4 or greater.

• If your student has diarrhea, they must be diarrhea free for 24 hours before returning to school (this means without the use of diarrhea suppressing medication). Diarrhea is defined as 3 or more episodes of loose stools in a 24 hour period.

• A student must not come to school if vomiting 2 or more times in 24 hours. A student should have 1 or 2 meals without vomiting before returning to school.

• Please notify the health room immediately if your child contracts chicken pox. The phone number is 452-0604

If you have questions concerning your student’s health, please contact your school nurse. Thank you for your assistance in decreasing the spread of illness.
