Illnesses. Parents will be asked to pick up students who become too ill to remain in the classroom. If a child is ill, the child should not be sent to school. If a child has fever, he/she should be kept out of school until free of fever for 24 hours. If a child is injured and requires medical attention, every effort will be made to notify the parents. The person indicated on the emergency card will be notified in the event that parents are unavailable. Serious injuries will result in ambulance transport. • Students will be readmitted to class 24 HOURS after fever, vomiting, or other symptoms have subsided. • Please report all communicable diseases, including strep throat, chicken pox, pink eye, and skin diseases. • Please inform the nurse in writing of any changes in your work or home number or if you will not be at your usual number during school hours. • All physical education excuses will be evaluated by the nurse. Only a physician's note officially excuses a student from PE classes. Parents' request for a child to be excused must state the exact nature of the child's problem. The nurse will call parents if clarification is needed. • Oral temperature of 100 degrees or above • Vomiting, nausea, or severe abdominal pain. • Marked drowsiness or malaise • Sore throat, acute cold, or persistent cough. • Red, inflamed, or discharging eyes. • Acute skin rashes or eruptions • Swollen glands around jaws, ears, and neck. • Suspected scabies or impetigo • Any skin lesion in the weeping stage unless protected and diagnosed as non-infectious • Earache • Pediculosis (head lice) • Other symptoms which are suggestive of acute illness.
