If your child becomes sick at school 

Sometimes your child will become sick while at school and needs to go home. Educators will reach out to the primary parent/caregiver listed on the children's emergency card. If that person does not answer we will attempt to call the secondary parent/caregiver. In the event that the child needs to go home as soon as possible and we cannot reach the primary and secondary parent/caregivers, we will start calling the emergency card. Please be sure that anyone who you would want us to contact in this situation is listed on the emergency card. 

Exposure Notices: If your child is exposed to an infectious disease at school we are required to send out an exposure notice. 

Please check in with your child’s pediatrician for any questions or specific concerns regarding your child’s health.
