ILLNESSES AND INJURIES Good health is an important factor in your child’s educational progress. Close cooperation between home and school means that your child can benefit from a planned health program. A Western District school nurse, public health nurse, and the county health department are available as resource contacts. If your child becomes ill while at school, we will contact you immediately. Accurate information in an emergency is very important; please inform us of any changes as they may occur throughout the school year. Please DO NOT send
children to school if they are ill (have vomited or had a fever the day or
night before). If a child is found with
head lice he/she will be sent home immediately and will not be able to
return to school until all signs of lice, including nits,
are gone. Students must be re-checked in the office upon their return to
school. Children are expected to participate in physical education and recess activities unless they have a health problem. Students may be excused from physical education upon a parent’s written request. Beyond that, a doctor’s excuse is needed. We do not have facilities to care for sick children. VISION AND HEARING SCREENING Each year students at various grade levels receive hearing and vision screening offered by the Jackson County Health Department. |
