An Important Reminder from Our Nurse
To All Parents: 

If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home. Here are some of the reasons we must EXCLUDE students from school: 
- Diarrhea               
- Vomiting               
- Severe coughing
- Temperature 100 or greater
- skin eruption (unless accompanied by MD note)

If your child has a Temperature of 100 or greater, they must be kept home until the child does not have a fever for 24 hours (WITHOUT ANY FEVER REDUCER MEDICATIONS).

Please encourage your child to cover their coughs and sneezes and have them wash their hands for 20 seconds with warm water.

If your child has been diagnosed with the Flu, Strep Throat or any Respiratory illnesses please notify me, the school nurse.

Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.


Thank you,

Mrs. Savercool
