NURSE'S NOTES

When to keep your kids at home...
Children should stay home from school due to illness if any of the following are present:
* Fever of 100 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours
* Vomiting and/or diarrhea in the past 24 hours
* Itchy, red eyes with discharge
* Unknown rash, to protect children at school.
Students assessed with any of the signs and symptoms listed above will be sent home.

Medication Policy
If necessary, medications can be given at school under the following conditions:
1. Medications must be in the original, properly labeled containers.  The pharmacy can supply two (2) labeled bottles for this purpose. Medications sent in baggies or unlabeled containers will NOT be given.
If your child takes daily medication, please send an extra bottle to be used for field trips.
2. Written permission of the parent or guardian is required for the administration of all medications. 
3. Retalin or other controlled medications will require a physician's signature as well as the parental/guardian's signature.  Medication samples also need a written prescription.  The date on the bottle must be current within the past twelve (12) months.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Sue Molle.
