Nurse's Corner
As a reminder, in order to minimize spread to others, if your child is sick or complaining of not feeling well, please keep them home monitor for illness and make sure they are feeling well before sending them back to school. PLEASE DO NOT MEDICATE YOUR CHILD WITH AN OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION TO MASK THEIR SYMPTOMS/FEVER SO THAT YOU CAN SEND THEM TO SCHOOL. SENDING YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IN THIS CONDITION EXPOSES OTHERS TO THEIR ILLNESS. Your child must be 24 hours fever/vomit/diarrhea free without taking any over the counter medication before they can return to school. And, if their symptoms warrant a doctor's visit, please have them evaluated by a healthcare provider with a note if applicable prior to returning to school. If your child has a sibling in the school, we ask that you keep everyone home until the sick child has a diagnosis for their symptoms OR has been medically cleared. Household contact is considered continuous transmission; this is an extra layer in place to help prevent the spread of illness to other students while waiting for a diagnosis for your sick child.
