We are no longer excluding students with flu-like symptoms from school. If a student is sick or feeling unwell, we recommend taking cautionary steps to prevent any spread of infection to fellow classmates: wearing a mask and practicing safe distancing until symptoms subside. The only exception for medical exclusion is if any student is running a fever and/or has active diarrhea/vomiting. If your student is exhibiting any of these symptoms, please keep home for 24 hours since the last episode before returning to school. You may bring a Dr.'s note to medically excuse any absences due to illness or medical/dental appointment.

Student Visit Policy
All students who come to the office for an injury/illness must have a pass from the class they are missing- with the exception of an emergency. No passes are needed during a medical emergency. Students are not allowed to come in during the passing period. The only exception is during their lunch period. All students must sign in the Student Log upon entering the health office and sign out when leaving.
Failure to sign in and/or out can result in their time in the health office not being covered for attendance. The nurse will assess the student to determine the appropriate action to be taken. If the student is being released to go home, the parent must speak to school personnel (ie, nurse's office or attendance) before the student is released.
