Sick Child Policy
Please keep your children home from
school for the following health
reasons to protect your child and
their classmates:
Medication Policy
Medication will not be administered
in school nor at school-sponsored
activities without parents' written
authorization and a physician's
written order. Medications must be
delivered to school by parent or
guardian, properly labeled by a
pharmacist and consistent with the
physician's order. Students may not
bring medications to school
themselves.
Lice Policy
Head lice occur commonly in children
of all backgrounds and socioeconomic
groups. It spreads quickly and
easily in schools, day care centers
camps, and other areas where
children congregate. By working
together we can prevent the spread
and repeated re-infestations of head
lice.
School
identification of head lice
- students are excluded, from school
until treated with a medicated
shampoo or cream, and there are no
visible nits.
Home
identification - Please
notify the health team if your child
has head lice.Following treatment at
home, students are re-inspected upon
return to school. He/she will be
re-admitted only if there are no
nits present.
