We all want our children to have
good attendance and we hope our children are healthy so they will have few
absences. There are some occasions, however, when children need to stay
home. These guidelines are designed to protect the health of all
children.
1. If a child is sent home with a fever, he/she is expected
to remain home a full 24 hours fever free before returning to school.
2. If a child vomits during the night or in the morning,
please do not send him/her to school. If a child vomits in school, we
will call you to pick him/her up.
3. If a child has been diagnosed with Strep
Throat, state law requires he/she must be on medication for 24 hours before
returning to school.
4. If a child has been diagnosed with Conjunctivitis (pink
eye,) he/she must be on medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
5. Chicken pox requires the child to be home until all pox are scabbed and dry. Clearance from the school nurse is
necessary before the child can re-enter the classroom.
6. It is very important that the school nurse is notified if
head lice or nits are found in your child’s hair. A child must be nit
free for 24 before returning to school. Clearance from the school nurse
is necessary before the child can re-enter the classroom.
7. If a child needs to be excused from Physical Education, a
note from the parent/guardian or primary care provider is required.
8. Parents need to notify the school nurse if a child is on
crutches, has a cast or is in a brace of any kind.
9. No medication, including over the counter medications will
be administered to students unless there is a Physician and Parent/Guardian
medication authorization form completed. The medication also must be in
the original prescription bottle or original container. Please refer to
the medication policies if you have any questions
No student is to carry medication to the classroom. If it is necessary that medication be taken during school hours, the following is required:
1. A Medication Authorization Form completed by the Primary Care Provider.
2. A Medication Authorization Form completed by the parent.
3. Medication is to be in the correct prescription bottle, labeled with the name of the child, current dosage, date of prescription, prescription number, and name of prescribing primary care provider.
4. Please keep in mind when sending in medication, only the nurse is permitted to dispense medication according to NJ State Law.
5. Non Prescription medications (i.e. Aspirin, Tylenol, Cough drops, Cough syrup etc) may only be administered when a Medication Authorization Form is completed by the primary care provider and a parent. These medications must come in the original container.
6. No parent's or
primary care provider's phone instructions can be accepted.
