Illness
In case of illness, students will come to the school office and telephone their parent/guardian. Students who are ill (fever, vomiting, excessive coughing, runny nose and/or eyes) must be picked up immediately from school. If a parent cannot be reached, the emergency contact listed on the student enrollment form will be notified to come and pick up the student.
If a student feels ill, but there are no obvious symptoms of illness, the school secretary may, after conferring with the parent, invite the student to rest in the school office for 15 to 30 minutes to determine if the symptoms will subside. If the student is not feeling better after 30 minutes, the parents will be contacted again and will need to pick up the student within one hour. If the child is not picked up within one hour a secondary contact may be asked to pick up the ill student.
If a student reports to the office with symptoms of a head injury the parent will be contacted immediately and the student may need to be picked up.
