Illnesses and Conditions
COVID-19
If your child has tested positive for COVID, please contact the Front Office or Nurse Brandi at (602) 449-6700 for further guidance.
Fever
The child should remain at home with a fever greater than 100°. The child can return to school after he/she has been fever free for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Motrin).
Diarrhea/Vomiting
A child with diarrhea and /or vomiting should stay at home and return to school only after being symptom-free for 24 hours.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Following a diagnosis of conjunctivitis, the child may return to school 24 hours after the first dose of prescribed medication.
Rashes
Common infectious diseases with rashes are most contagious in the early stages. A child with a suspicious rash should return to school only after a health care provider has made a diagnosis and authorized the child’s return to school.
*Students who are not feeling well must come to the Health Office to be assessed by the Nurse. Do not have them text or call you first. By following this procedure, the Nurse can monitor any illnesses that are prevalent in the school community. There are many ways to help a student feel better without having them go home. You will be notified if your child becomes ill enough to be sent home from school, sustains more than a minor injury, or for any other emergency. It is the parent's responsibility to make arrangements to pick up the child as promptly as possible. In accordance with district procedures, elementary students are not permitted to walk home when ill or injured, and must be signed out with proper identification at the office.
Chronic Conditions
If your child has a chronic health condition (life-threatening allergy, asthma, diabetes, seizure) and will need specific care or medications while at school, please be sure to see the Nurse when you return to school, so you may complete the necessary forms and drop of any medications. These forms must be completed annually.
