Illness this Season
Communicable Diseases:
The center shall make every effort to control the spread of communicable diseases
and shall establish health policies and precautions as directed by the Board of Health. The center will issue immediate notification of existing cases of communicable disease for parents to be informed and take special precautions as directed. Likewise, parents need to alert the school of their child’s exposure to communicable diseases so that we may notify all current families immediately.
Special precautions will be taken in permitting a child to return to school after an extended illness. Unless there is a statement from your doctor, a child who does not appear fully recovered will not be re-admitted to the school.
Illness
If a child becomes ill during school, the child shall be isolated from the group until
he/she is picked up by the parent. Pick-up, of course, should be done as quickly as possible. Since young children are so susceptible to disease, a child will be sent home for one or more of the following conditions:
- Sore Throat
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Cough
- Rash
- Elevated Temperature (100.4)
You will be notified of any significant occurrences or problems that affect your child, including exposure to communicable diseases. Your child must be fever-free (with NO medication) for 72 hours before they can return to school.
