Health

If your child is well enough to come to school, he or she should go outside for recess. Arrangements may be made for students with injuries. Please dress your child appropriately for the weather. We will limit or cancel recess on days which are too cold or wet.

It is important that you can be contacted in case of an emergency. Please keep the office updated with the phone number, place of work, and contact people.

Minor injuries are routinely treated with soap and water, antiseptics, bandages and ice. If it is determined that an injury requires more attention or continued observation, the parents will be contacted.

Please do not send your child to school if he or she is ill. If your child becomes ill at school, you will be called, and your child will be dismissed.

Medications

Parents are urged to schedule administration of medication outside of school hours.

Parents should never give children medication to take in school without supervision. Please provide a teacher with a written form giving her permission to give prescribed medication to a child and full instructions.

Medication brought to school must be clearly labeled with student’s name, name of medication, dosage, time to be given.

If medication is not labeled as specified, it will not be administered by school personnel.
