NOTES from the NURSE
Being at School is very important, but when your child is not well, here are a few key things to remember in regards to when to keep him/her at home:
Vomiting, diarrhea, or fever (100.0 degrees or higher) keep them home until 24 hours symptom free WITHOUT medicine to reduce symptoms. This is to reduce the spread of infection! Please be sure to adhere to this district policy.
Clothing:
Please send a change of clothes in a separate bag with student’s name on it to be kept in their backpack/locker in case of accidental clothing issues that might require a change.
The district policy regarding outdoor recess is as follows:
- Wind chill 35 degrees or higher on cold days outdoor recess
- Heat index 99 degrees and ozone alert red indoor recess
- Heat index 100 degrees or more indoor recess
Please dress accordingly.
Medication in the school setting:
District policy states that students in the elementary school level are not allowed to transport medication to and from school.
- Over the counter FDA approved or prescription medication to be taken at school for a short term (must be no more than 5 days unless doctor’s order is provided) then a parent or guardian must bring it to the nurse with a note providing medication instructions. This policy includes items like cough drops.
- Asthma, allergies, or other health conditions that require as needed medications to be kept at school for the duration of the school year the parent must bring the medication to the nurse and fill out the appropriate medication administration request forms.
Thank you for your attention and we are so glad to have you and your student as part of our Ethridge family! Nurse Tiffany
Let's all finish strong! Thank you for partnering with us throughout the year to make your child's educational experience at Ethridge special!
