Come promptly once notified of a student's illness or injury. Please, do not request that we allow your student to rest in the Health Room for the remainder of the school day. We cannot provide continuous care for long periods of time. Fevers Please do not send your child to school with a fever. It is very important that your child be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.
Temperatures tend to rise in the noon hours and go down in the morning.
Therefore, if your child ran a fever the night before, but it appears to be down in the morning, please wait at least 24 hours before returning to school. The infection can be bacterial or viral. Bacterial conjunctivitis is more common in children. Eye redness, eye swelling, and a thick puss-like drainage will usually be seen. A child suspected of having Pink eye must be picked up by a parent and not returned to school until seen by a doctor who will assign the appropriate treatment.
