Injuries: Minor cuts, scrapes, or bruises will be treated in the clinic. Other more serious injuries will be reported to the parents.
Emergencies: In the event of a situation requiring immediate medical attention, paramedics will be called. If deemed necessary, the child will be transported to a local medical facility at the parents’ expense.
Special Problems: If your child has any special problems of which the school needs to be aware (allergies, seizures, asthma, etc.), please notify the school in writing.
Stay Home if You’re Sick!
At the beginning of a new school year, it’s always a good idea to review our guidelines for sending sick children to school:
Fever (100.4° or higher), Nausea/Vomiting: Return to school after 24 hours without fever, child behaving normally, and a minimum of one full school day.
Strep Throat/Scarlet Fever: Return to school after at least 24 hours of antibiotic treatment and no fever for 24 hours.
