Question 1

Answer 1
The School has a policy that requires a child to be fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT MEDICATION, before he/she may return to school. In other words, if you have a fever today, you stay out tomorrow.
Question 2

Answer 2
TEMPORARY MEDICATIONS (ANTIBIOTICS): send in the pharmacy container with the child's and the doctor's name on the label, and the medication can be given for the period of time required. MEDICATIONS FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR: obtain a medication form from the nurse to be filled out entirely by the doctor. Bring in the medication in the original pharmacy container, with this completed form,(be sure to sign the front of the form) and the child can receive this medication as needed. REMEMBER THAT CHILDREN ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO CARRY MEDICATION THEMSELVES.
Question 3

Answer 3
MRSA (Methicilllin resistant staphlococus aureus) has been in the papers a lot lately. The majority of the cases have been found in hospitals, mainly affecting the elderly, with a few cases in schools affecting athletes. The main way to avoid this disease is by good hygiene, mainly handwashing. The children in all grades at Lawrence Brook will be reminded of proper handwashing technique, and encouraged to wash hands frequently. Tables in the classrooms are regularly washed down twice a week with a germicidal cleaner. Signs of a skin infection are redness, swelling, warmth at the site, pain and/or tenderness. There may or may not be pus draining from the wound. If these symptoms are present, consult your doctor immediately. Most infections are NOT MRSA, but all infections should be checked by your doctor. This problem is not a new one, since cases have been reported for many years, but the numbers are rising so it is good to be informed.
