Screenings Conducted at School:
Hearing and vision screenings are done on all students that are new to the district. Parents and teachers may also request a screening for any student at any time when a concern arises. Vision referral letters are sent home to notify parents if the student has difficulties with any portion of the screening. Students who have difficulty with an initial hearing screening will be retested within 30 days. If a student still has difficulties with the second hearing screening, the student will be referred to an audiologist. Parents will be notified by a referral letter regarding their child's hearing difficulties. We do have a District Audiologist that will see students at no cost to the parents. Their contact information will be on the referral letter.
Illness: These are all reasons to NOT be present at school: Vomiting, Diarrhea, Fever greater than 100, Lice, and Any communicable disease
All symptoms must be gone for 24 hours without taking medication to be considered clear to return to school. Sometimes it is required to have a doctor’s note to be clear to return to school. With most infections, it is okay to return to school as long as a child has been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours and they are comfortable enough to be productive in school. Our school district has a “No Nit Policy” pertaining to lice, which means there can be no eggs present on a student’s head in order for them to return to school.
If a student becomes ill at school, there must be a responsible adult available to pick up the child. Please have a back-up plan if you (the parent/guardian) are not available and reachable by phone.
Students will only be released to those persons on the Emergency Contact List.
A PHOTO ID is required to pick up any student.
PLEASE ensure that all contact information is accurate and correct for parental and emergency contacts. These forms contain vital information should your child become ill or injured at school. It also provides the school nurse with a brief insight into any medical conditions your child may have that could affect them while at school.
