From The Office
Arbor View Families,
A few general reminders to make arrival and dismissal run smoothly...
Please only use the handicapped parking spots if you have proper identification.
Remain in your vehicle to keep traffic moving.
Kids can be dropped off or picked up anywhere along the path as long as they enter and/or exit on the curbside.
Using the safety patrol crosswalk is ideal as it only stops traffic once.

⁓Sick Child Policy⁓
Just a reminder to monitor your child for symptoms of illness and to keep them home if they have any of the following: fever >100.0, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, head lice, eye infection, or symptoms of Covid. Please refer to the Douglas County Health Department link to exclusion criteria for symptomatic students:
Exclusion and Readmittance of Ill Students and Staff in Schools
Ways to prevent illness include frequent handwashing, wearing a face mask (especially if unvaccinated), social distancing, eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting plenty of rest and physical activity. (Please remind your student to bring their water bottle to school each day.)
⁓Physical and Immunization Requirements⁓
Nebraska law requires that all school children have a physical examination upon entry into school, at seventh grade, and when transferring from an out-of-state school. Students must also provide proof of a visual evaluation to include testing for amblyopia, strabismus, internal and external eye health and visual acuity upon entry into school and when transferring from an out-of-state school. The law also requires your child be immunized and provide proof of immunization before attending classes. Please visit this link: Summary of the School Immunization Rules and Regulations to view specific vaccine requirements for the age of your child. If you have not turned in your Kindergarten, or new out-of-state student’s paperwork, please do so ASAP.
⁓Medication Policy⁓
If your student requires any medication (over-the-counter and/or prescription) while at school, each medication must have a Medication Authorization Form signed by the parent and a physician before we can administer. All medications must be unexpired and provided in the original packaging and/or pharmacy container. For prescription medications, please only provide a maximum of 30 day supply at a time. All medication must be dropped off in the office by a parent or guardian. Please do not send any medications with your student. Also, if you believe your student is capable of managing their own inhaler or epi pen while at school, here is the link for the Self-management Of Asthma and Severe Allergy (Anaphylaxis) at School Consent/release form.
⁓Students with Asthma, Severe Allergies, Diabetes, and/or Seizures⁓
If your child has asthma, severe allergies, diabetes, and/or seizures, and you have not yet done so, please submit an Action Plan signed by your physician. Plans must be updated annually.
Thank You!
