Each student will have the opportunity to reach his/her full potential academically, physically, socially, and emotionally.
Buena Vista drop off and pick up procedures
Student illness & exclusion policies
When a child becomes ill at school, he/she will be made as comfortable as possible until such time as arrangements can be made for having him/her picked up. Attempts will be made to call the parent/guardian first, then the person listed on the student's emergency card.
If your child shows signs of not feeling well, please keep the child home. Children should be kept home whenever they have a fever. They may return to school 24 hours after the fever subsides. Children should be kept home when they are vomiting. They may return to school 24 hours after the vomiting subsides. Please notify the office immediately if your child becomes ill with a communicable disease. Exposure notices will then be sent home with the child's classmates.
To prevent the spread of disease and to protect your student, please keep your student home and/or make an appointment with your health care provider for the following symptoms:
- temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- severe sore throat, headache, or cough
- eyes with inflammation, redness, and watery or purulent drainage
- live head lice
- undiagnosed and/or untreated skin rash
- communicable disease
STUDENT ABSENCES
EARLY CHECKOUT....
If you need to check your student out early, please visit the front office and sign on the yellow student signout sheet. Students will then be called out of class. Students will not be called out of class until a parent is present to sign them out unless prior notice is given. Please plan ahead for appointments, as we would like to minimize missed class time.
Important reminders about medication
- Students should not be carrying medication with them without prior approval. This includes cough drops, eye drops, pain relief medication and lactaid tablets. All medication must be cleared through the office.
- All paperwork for medication should be filled out at the beginning of the school year and should be turned in during Welcome Back Day.
