Notes from Our Nurses
24 Hour Rule: Please remember that children must be vomit and diarrhea free for a full 24 hours before returning to school and if they have had a fever, must be fever-free for a full 24 hours without any fever reducing medicine to return to school.
How Much Sleep Does My Child Need?
Where's The Bus App
Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn the exact location of your child’s bus, and what time it will arrive at their stop? Red Clay has an app for that! WheresTheBusTM allows families to follow progress of the bus before it arrives at the student’s assigned stop. Knowing when the bus will arrive translates into peace of mind for parents. Mornings are less hectic and stressful for families when you eliminate the bus stop rush and uncertainty of wondering when the bus will arrive. Families can minimize waiting outside in inclement weather while enjoying more family time together.
Signing up is free, and takes less than 5 minutes.
