Attention
Parents…
As we all know DWE is the place to
be. However, if your child is ill it is
better
for them not to be at school. I know how important
perfect attendance is for children but
exposing other children to illnesses is just not worth it.
Please, if your child is ill follow
these guidelines so we can be a healthy school:
1.
Fever
(100.4 degrees or greater)
- students must be free of fever for 24 hours before returning.
This also means that if the nurse has sent a child home
with fever, the child should probably not return to
school the next day. A visit to the doctor is also
recommended so
the child can get well soon.
2.
Strep
Throat - readmit after
24 hours from date antibiotic treatment has begun.
3.
Head
Lice - This can really
be an itchy subject for everyone. All parents need
to inspect their
children regularly for head lice in order to keep this controlled.
If a child has had head lice before, it is very important
that the parents take responsibility to check their child’s
head
even more often. Also, if your child has head lice,
please contact the nurse so she can give helpful hints
in the treatment. You really must be very aggressive
with the treatment for about 3 - 4 weeks. Parents
and children will get through this and hopefully the lice
will not.
4.
Vomiting
or Diarrhea - If your child
has had vomiting or diarrhea during the night or
morning,
please keep them at home.
5.
Pink
Eye - readmit after Dr.’s
treatment has begun.
6.
Medications
- There are many medications that need to be given to children
on a daily basis. Therefore,
if your child is on a once or twice a day medication it
would be helpful if you
administered it at home. Also,
if your child may need a medication on an as needed basis,
please send the
medication in the original container with a note and the
nurse can keep it in the clinic and administer it as
needed for the school year.
Keeping
each child well and happy here at DWE is always my priority.
Parents, please feel free
to contact me at any time about any questions or concerns
you may have about your child.
