District Nurses

Your child should stay home if:

• They have a fever greater than 100 degrees (a student must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication in order to return to school).
• Serious cold symptoms like coughing, sneezing, severe nasal congestion that would interfere with learning.
• Diarrhea or vomiting.
• Open sores with drainage.
• An undiagnosed rash.
• Sore throat that interferes with swallowing or with a fever or rash.
• Untreated head lice.
• Pinkeye.
• Headache severe enough to interfere with learning.
• Cough with wheezing or moderate to severe chest pain.

Your school should be notified of any condition that could require treatment at school or could pose a serious risk if staff is unaware of the condition.

Examples of such are:

• asthma
• a seizure disorder
• severe allergy
• a condition being treated by a heart specialist or cardiologist.

Please fill out a care plan and contact your school's health room. This will signify a medical alert in Powerschool that will notify staff of the condition.

All care plans need to be updated at the beginning of the school year.

No. It is illegal for us to share that information with the bus company. You'll need to fill out an additional form with them to make sure they are aware of any potentially serious medical conditions.

We're always happy to meet with parents around supporting their child's health in our schools. Please contact our school nurse above or your building's principal to schedule a meeting.
