Injury/Illness
Any student health/medical needs should be communicated directly to the school nurse. Please comply with the following procedures when your child has an injury or illness:
- If a child is found to have an elevated temperature by the school nurse, the child may be sent home and is to remain home for at least 24 hours or one full day until the temperature is normal.
- Following any illness requiring your child to be out of school, you must send a note including the type of illness, whether your child was seen by a doctor, and a list of any medication that was prescribed.
- Following any injury, medical procedure, or surgery, a written doctor’s note permitting return to school is required. The note must include the type of injury, procedure or limitations on activities the student will have in school.
- A child injured during the school day is covered under a school insurance policy. This coverage is only secondary to your insurance policy. An insurance form will be provided to you and it is your responsibility to complete and mail the form to the insurance provider.
- Any student with an open wound must have the wound covered while at school.
- No student with an open, draining wound will be permitted in the pool or therapy pool.
- If a student is found to have head lice or nits, he/she will be sent home to be treated. The student may not return to school until his/her lice and nits are no longer present. Upon returning to school parent/guardian must bring student to the school nurse to be checked before student is admitted to class.
