Student Health
Children should be in good physical health before they attend school. All cold symptoms should be regarded as contagious (sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, cough, headache, temperature) and your child should remain at home. Any child with a rash, fever, vomiting, temperature, or general malaise should remain at home for 24 hours of observation.
*** Please do not send your child to school if they have a fever greater than 100 or if they have vomited within the past 24 hours.
Water bottles are important to keep your child hydrated during the school day. Please send one with your child each day.

Please remember all medications for students must be brought in by a parent or guardian. They should be accompanied by a Doctor's order for administration in school along with a signed parent/guardian form as well.
