Health Services

Please review the following student illness guidelines:

• Report the absence and the student's symptoms (i.e. nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, sore throat, cough, rash, body aches, etc.).
• If the student saw a healthcare provider for the illness, please let us know the outcome of that visit and if your child was diagnosed with a contagious disease.
• For contagious diseases like the flu, COVID, etc., follow the same guidelines: Students/staff must be fever free 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
• If the student has a fever (100 or higher), they should not return to school until they are fever-free for 24 consecutive hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
• If the student is vomiting, they should not return to school until they have not vomited for 24 hours.
• If the student is being treated for a contagious bacterial infection (i.e strep throat), they should not return to school until 24 hours after antibiotics are started and until they are fever-free for 24 consecutive hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.

Students with the above symptoms may be sent home. A parent/guardian will be called and asked to come and pick up the student.

Participation in Athletics/Activities: To participate in games, meets, performances, or events, all student participants must be present by the beginning of the third block on the day of the event and remain in attendance through the remainder of the day. Exceptions are made for excused doctor appointments, bereavement, and college visits, but any other absences must be cleared with the activities director in advance. Students can still participate in practices as long as they are present during any part of the school that day

All student absences need to be reported to the main office of your child’s attendance center. Parents may call the main office, email the building secretary, or report the absence through the PowerSchool parent portal by 8:30 am.  More than one instance of health-related absences in any trimester/semester may require documentation throughout the remainder of the year in order to be exempt.
