Lake County Sick Day Guidelines
Dear Parents:
To help prevent the spread of illness, we would like to give you some guidelines to help
with your decision on whether or not to send your child to school. We ask that you keep
your child home if he or she:
- Has a fever of 100.0 (oral) degrees or higher
- Has abdominal cramps and or vomiting
- Has a sore throat with fever (see below)
- Has a persistent cough (dry or productive)
- Has diarrhea (three or more episodes in 24 hrs)
- Has a rash or open and draining sores
- Has symptoms that prevent him or her from participating in school, such as:
- Excessive tiredness or lack of appetite
- Headaches, body aches, earaches
- Severe sore throat (could be strep-throat even without fever. Other
symptoms of strep throat in children are headache & stomach upset.
Contact your pediatrician to assess or diagnosis strep throat).
If you child has recently been ill, please be aware of the following guidelines before
having your child return to school, athletic or social activities:
- They should feel fit for at least 24 hours.
- Be free of fever for at least 24 hours (without medication)
- Be free of vomiting and or diarrhea for at least 24 hours.
- For strep throat, they must be on the appropriate antibiotic for at least 24 hours.
- For conjunctivitis, they must be on the appropriate eye drops for at least 24 hours
or cleared by a physician.
- Rash illnesses should be assessed by a doctor. If chicken Pox is suspected, keep
home for at least 5 days after the appearance of the rash or until all blisters have
scabbed over.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Science Spectacular
Please help us! :)
We recently opened a PBIS student store and could use donations of small prizes (see picture) for students to be able to "purchase" with their STARbucks! If you have any small prizes hanging around your home that you would like to donate, we would need the items in quantities of 30 or more so that students can plan out their purchases. You can send in the items to either the Primary or Elementary office. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!
All Big Hollow students are STAR students! Big Hollow students will be expected to show Self Control, Take Responsibility, keep a positive Attitude, and always be Respectful. Many students have earned rewards and positive behavior referrals for being positive role models. If you would like to contribute and help to our PBIS program, please contact us. :)
Some Friendly Reminders :)
Children may be dropped off starting at 8:15 am every morning. Students must exit the vehicle unassisted on the curb side only between the two crosswalks. Please proceed with caution through our drop off area. If you need to enter the office with your child for any reason, please park first and walk your child in. If you arrive after 8:35 am, parents must walk children in to the office and sign them in. These procedures are in place to ensure the safety of all.
PICK UP INFORMATION
Please enter the buildings at 3:15 pm to sign out and pick up your child. If you will be picking your child up every day, please make sure to complete an after school care form and submit it to the office. For occasional pick ups, the office must be notified before 2:15 pm. Elementary - 8477405321/ Primary- 8477405320 Thank you for cooperation.
