Communicable Diseases 
| Tis the season for colds and other unwanted visitors to invade our school. The best defense is adequate rest and healthy foods. However, if you do find your child with a fever over 100 degrees, or with acute GI symptoms (like vomiting or diarrhea), he or she must stay home. Your child must remain out of school until fever free (without medication) for 24 hours or until his or her GI problem has been over for at least 12 to 24 hours, at the Nurse's discretion. If your child has a contagious infection which is treatable with antibiotics, like strep throat or conjunctivitis (“pink eye”), he or she must be on antibiotics for 24 hours before resuming school. Please let me know about these or any condition which can be transmitted so that I can be watching for it in others. I depend on your conscientiousness, and the information is always confidential. Feel free to call any time with questions or concerns. |
