Health & Wellness

Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year! 

Health Services is revamping the webpage in order to provide all the necessary medical information for this school year!  We hope this can become a hub for parents, students, and faculty/staff to obtain medical forms, medical related updates, and any news regarding Covid-19 moving forward.

Beyond basic first aid and managing medications for students, our health team asks you to partner with them to keep us informed of your student’s health records and needs.  Each year you will be asked to submit health forms that can be found in the drop down menus below. Please make sure all required forms are completed and submitted before school begins in September.  

 

Illness Policy and Covid-19 Info

1. Stay Home When Sick: We kindly request that if your child is feeling unwell or showing any symptoms of illness, please keep them at home. This will help limit transmission of illness to others and allow students to recover. This includes disruptive coughing, persistent runny noses, sore throats, upset stomachs, and others.

2. 24 Hours Fever and Vomit Free: We have a 24 hour policy for return after any episode of vomiting or fever. Please do not return to school until 24 hours have passed without the use of medication.

3. Extended absence: The school should be notified any day a student is absent. If absent for 3 days of longer, a doctor’s note may be required to return. Please notify the Health Office if your child is out for a medical reason longer then 2 days.

4. Testing for COVID-19: Following advice from the CDC, the recommendation is to test if you have COVID-like symptoms and/or have been exposed to COVID-19 and have begun to show symptoms.

5. Isolation and Masking: In the event that your child tests positive for COVID-19, we are currently following the CDC recommendations for COVID-19. The recommendation is to isolate Day 1 through Day 5, coming out of isolation on Day 6, then masking for 6-10 days.
