| For the protection of the other children and the staff, if your child is
coughing or showing signs of illness, please keep them home. Your child may
be sent home if she/he appears to have symptoms of illness during the school
day. In such cases the child is isolated from the others, and a parent is
contacted. Please notify the school office if your child contracts a
contagious disease, so that we may inform the parents. All students will be
excluded from school for any contagious disease or infection in accordance
with the Board of Health Regulations. Such diseases include chicken pox,
measles, German measles, mumps, conjunctivitis and pediculosis.
Parents are asked to keep their children home from school for the following
symptoms:
1. Fever in the last 24 hours
2. Vomiting and/or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
3. Any symptoms of childhood diseases
4. Runny nose with any colored discharge
5. Sore throat
6. Unexplained rash
7. Skin infection
8. Pink eye or other eye infection
In case of accidental injury we will make an immediate attempt to call a
parent. If we cannot reach you, we will call the child's doctor and proceed
with whatever care is necessary. Please keep the school up to date on phone
numbers, emergency numbers, and other pertinent health information.
Allergies should be listed on your child's health record.
