Communicable disease inspections will be conducted periodically. A student suspected of having a communicable disease will be excluded from school until guidelines for readmission are met.
An effort will be made to notify parent/guardians about school exposure to chicken pox. The parent/guardian of a student for whom chicken pox presents a particular hazard should contact the school nurse to facilitate notification. Students at risk include those with deficient immune systems and those receiving certain drugs for the treatment of 1eukemia or organ transplants. A student returning to school with sutures casts, crutches, leg brace(s), or a wheelchair must have a physician’s written permission to attend school and must comply with any safety procedures required by the school and health services personnel. An excuse from a physical education class may be granted to a student who is unable to participate in a regular or modified curriculum for a temporary period of time due to illness or injury. A written request is needed from the student’s health care provider. A current District Emergency Information Card must be on file at the school so that parents/guardians can be notified promptly in case of accident or illness involving their child. |
