Exposure to Communicable Disease. Parents/guardians are asked to please notify the program of their child’s illness when it involves any type of communicable disease, which include (but is not limited to): measles, chicken pox, head lice, ringworm, flu and pink eye. We will then attempt to warn other parents of exposure as well as provide information regarding symptoms to watch for, duration of illness, etc. while NOT disclosing your child’s identity. You are not permitted to send a child who has been absent from school (due to illness) to our program for the length of that day. Children who have vomited within a 24-hr. period may NOT be in program. Children with contagious conditions are also required to remain at home until the condition is no longer contagious and your child has been cleared to come back by a physician. A doctor’s note maybe required at the director’s discretion. Children taking antibiotics must stay home for a full 24 hours before returning to the program. Any child who becomes ill during a normal day’s program will be taken to a designated area to rest under the supervision of staff until a parent/guardian can come to pick up the child. Your cooperation is expected for the safety of both your child and others in the SACC program. If contacted regarding your child, an immediate response is expected.
