Notes from the Nurse Deptford Township Public Schools Click here for staff email access. We have a few children with chicken pox. Before the appearance of spots children may exhibit symptoms of a cold, fever, or malaise.
Children are contagious five days before the rash and until the lesions become dry.
The children may not return to school for approximately six days after the appearance of the first spot. If you have questions or concerns feel free to contact me at school. NJ Family Care NJ KidCare is now NJ FamilyCare. That means uninsured kids, parents, couples, and even single adults can all enjoy affordable health coverage - like the kind that already covers thousands of New Jersey children. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services have established some new regulations regarding required immunizations for school attendance.
