Nurse Services

The school will have basic nurse services on site and facilitate the administration of medications to your children; however, the prescribing physician must provide written instructions for all medicine that the nurse is to apply to your child during the school day. The prescription must have the child's legal name, dosage, time interval and any other pertinent information necessary to carry out this task.

In the event that your child becomes ill at home, we recommend that s/he remains at home:

• » If they have a temperature above 37.5°, a rash that cannot be explained, diarrhea, or vomiting.
  If there are any signs of redness, tears, or infections in the eyes, please, do not send your child to school without a doctor report mentioning that the ailment is not contagious.

 

• » If your child has an infectious disease (e.g. measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough or eye infection), you must present a letter from your doctor to the school nurse stating that s/he can return to school

 

• » If your child has cold, flu, and runny nose with fever do not send him to school until 24 hours after his temperature becomes normal

If your child should complain of an illness, or get hurt at school we will contact you to keep you informed and advise you if s/he needs to go home, or visit the doctor.

We will also check personal hygiene and general cleanliness. Please ensure that your child leaves home with a clean uniform and is properly groomed.
