 It is recommended that children with the following symptoms stay home for 24 hours until symptoms are resolved. Children should be fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT fever reducing medication(Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Dayquil, etc.). 
 
  • fever at or above 100.4 F
  • diarrhea
  • vomiting
  • red, draining, eyes
  • thick, green nasal discharge
 
If your child has been diagnosed with a communicable disease (Strep throat, Pink Eye, Flu, COVID, Impetigo, Hand Foot & Mouth, Chicken Pox, Fifths disease, etc.) please call us so we can give you a return to school date, as there are certain requirements your child has to meet before they can return. 
 
No person having an infectious or contagious disease shall be admitted to any public, parochial, or private school, or to any other public place according to Sedgwick County Health Department.  
 
Normally we do not call parents every time when students visit the health room. We will try to call if a student:
  • Throws up (sick)
  • Diarrhea
  • Students ask to call their parents
  • It is established that parents want to be called for every health room visit or for certain visits
  • An injury that needs more medical attention 
  • An injury that looks okay but the student is very young (pre-K/Kdg.)
  • An injury that looks okay but we want the parents to be aware just in case it gets worse 
  • Accidents/change of clothes, if necessary
  • Complaints of ear aches with assessment of the ears
  • Complaints of sore throat with symptoms 
STREP TESTING:
  • We offer strep testing at school, if your child meets the criteria symptoms to be tested, and you would like them to be tested.  Click on the link labeled "Consent for Strep Testing" and fill out the form.
CLOTHING:
  • In our health room we have clothes that student's can borrow if they have an accident or spill something on them. We ask that you please return them so other student's can have the same opportunity.  It's also always a good idea to have an extra change of clothes in your child's backpack!
Immunizations: 
 
Please have a copy of your student's immunizations turned in prior to the school year. If proof of immunizations are not received by exclusion day your child will not be able to attend until those are turned in.
