Health Services - The Health Office is available to students during school hours eachday.

HEALTH OFFICE...

If a student becomes ill while at school it is important he/she inform a staff member. Students will be sent to the health office if such illness or injury warrants medical evaluation. Students who are too sick to remain on campus must be picked up by their parent/guardian. Students with temperatures greater than 100.5 degrees and/or vomiting need to stay home and be free of symptoms for 24 hours before returning to school.

If a student is absent five school days in a four-week period due to illness, a medical evaluation by a physician is required and written verification of illness must be provided by the child's doctor or dentist. If the child has an underlying health condition that leads to anticipated future absences, please contact the health office.

Please refer to the Facts for Parents booklet for information regarding health requirements (e.g., administration of medication, health screenings, and immunization requirements).
