    Going to the nurse's office: 
    • Students should always notify their parents from the Health Room/Nurse Office if they are feeling ill and desire to go home. Failure to call from the Nurse’s Office will result in an unexcused absence. If your student texts you to request to go home, please instruct them to ask their teacher to come to the health room. 
    • For attendance purposes, students should always sign in and out through attendance when leaving or returning to school.
     
    Reasons the School Nurse will recommend a student to go home:
    • Temperature of 100 or flu like illness
    • Signs and symptoms of strep throat

    Checking a Student out if ill:
    • Parent must come into school and have ID scanned to pick student up from school.  If a parent is designating someone else to pick a student up and they are not on the pickup list parent has to send an email to appropriate Atendance clerk stating that they are allowed to pick student up. 

      We can no longer accept verbal authorization.
