Emergency information must be provided by parents at the time of enrollment. This information will need to be kept up to date. The Center is to be informed of new telephone numbers, addresses, etc. Children who are possibly contagious will not be accepted. Signs of a contagious illness may include vomiting, fever of 100o or higher, runny nose with green mucus, diarrhea, bad colds, flu, neck swelling, as well as symptoms of common childhood diseases.
Head lice is also very contagious.
Children with head lice will be sent home until all nits have been removed and approved for return to school by Public Health Nursing. Parents will be notified to pick up a child who is ill, contagious, or who has been injured. Parents should pick up the child as quickly as possible, without delay and unreasonable excuses. For this purpose, parents will be required to leave a schedule of where they can be reached during school hours. Parents are required to have a cellular phone or pager so that they can be immediately contacted in case of an emergency.
