We want your student at school when she/he is able to learn, not when they’re sick and can harm others. Please keep your student home if they experience:
- Temperature greater than 101 in previous 24 hours
- Vomiting or Diarrhea
- Trouble Breathing
- Pink or Red Eye(s) with drainage
- Strep Throat (until 24 hours of anti-biotic treatment.)
- Open wound
Common Health Office Visits
Headaches, stomachaches, and injuries
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires your distant visual acuity (DVA) to be 20/30 or better in both eyes or you cannot acquire a permit or driver’s license. Not wearing glasses or contacts when required is one of the reasons students get headaches. Visit an Optometrist to “see” which option—glasses or contacts—are appropriate.
Nutrition
Health Screenings
Optimal overall health requires screenings
Colds, flu & viruses VS bacteria
Fluids, rest, and OTCs versus antibiotic use. Fevers over 100 degrees for 3 days require medical evaluation.
Drugs and Alcohol
From over-the-counter prescription medications to illegal street party drugs, get the facts. Know the effects of drugs on the brain and body functions, and where to get counseling and rehabilitation.
