News from the Nurse

It is helpful, and critical in some cases, that the health office be aware of any changes in your child’s health. Changes in family living situations may be stressful to your child and result in more frequent visit’s to the nurse. If any of these issues apply to your child please be sure and let us know so that we may be of more help.

Report your child's absence each day your child is out by calling the school at 483-2769. Please report the reason for the absence. If your child is ill, report the symptoms and/or any diagnosed communicable condition. Please contact Ellen Warecki, School Nurse, if your child has any injury or illness that will require modifications in his/her school day, prior to returning to school.

  • If your child/adolescent becomes ill, at school and needs to go home, Health Service staff will attempt to contact a parent/guardian.
  • The emergency contact on the Student Health Information Sheet will be contacted if we feel your child needs to go home and we are unable to reach a parent/guardian.
  • Your child will not be allowed to leave school without contacting an adult. Please update the health office with any changes in these contacts.

Should my Child Stay Home from School?

Parents and students frequently have questions about when it is appropriate to stay home from school because of illness. Follow these guidelines to help with your decision:

  • If your child has had a temperature of 100.0 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours.
  • If your child has vomited within the past 24 hours.
  • If having your child at school would significantly put others at risk for contracting your child's illness.
  • If your child feels ill enough that he/she would not be able to benefit from being at school.

Please contact the health office if you have questions.
