1 Welcome to Cleveland Hill! We are so glad you are here! This is some important information from the health office: An updated immunization record is required by the start of school. This may be obtained from your health care provider or the health department. A physical examination performed within the last 12 months is required by the start of school. You may obtain a copy from your health care provider. The school nurse will perform annual vision and hearing screenings. You will be notified if abnormal findings are found. If your child is ill, i.e. fever, vomiting or diarrhea, please keep him/her home for 24 hours. To report your child absent, please call Please send a note when your child returns explaining the absence. If your child is absent four days or more, a doctor s note is necessary. If your child has a contagious/communicable disease, such as strep throat or pink eye, a doctor s note clearing them to return to school is needed. If your child needs to be excused from gym for one day, the nurse can give him/her a pass. However, any longer period of time off requires a doctor s note. The school nurse may administer prescription and OTC medication to your child. A doctor s order and medication permission form signed by a parent is required. If your child has a medical condition such as allergies or asthma, please inform the school nurse and keep her informed of any changes. Please update your contact numbers with the district. It is important to be able to reach you in case of an emergency. Accidents happen, so it is a good idea to keep a change of clothes here. Looking forward to a safe and healthy year!

2 WHEN TO KEEP A CHILD HOME WITH ILLNESS It can be difficult as parent to decide whether to send your child(ren) to school when they do not feel well. In general, unless your child is significantly ill, the best place for them is in school. However, there are some situations in which it is best to plan on keeping your child to rest, or to arrange for an appointment with your health care provider. The following are a few situations that warrant staying home and/or calling your health care provider:! A FEVER in the last 24 hours or greater. Do not give your child Tylenol, and send them to school if they have had a fever in the past 24 hours. You child is contagious to other children until they are fever free for 24 hours.! Child that is TOO SLEEPY due to illness keeping them up at night.! VOMITING and/or DIARRHEA in the past 24 hours.! PERSISTANT OR UNCONTROLABLE COUGH every few minutes, that makes a child feel uncomfortable, or is keeping them up at night.! SEVERE SORE THROAT with or without fever, especially after known exposure to Strep throat infection.! RASHES Honey-crusted sores around the nose or mouth, and a rash in various stages including boils, sores and bumps; especially if accompanied by other symptoms of illness such as fever. Your child s Pediatrician MUST clear ALL RASHES.! BRIGHT RED ITCHY EYES with or without discharge.! Large amount of NASAL DISCHARGE, especially if discolored and accompanied by facial pain/headache! SEVERE EAR PAIN or drainage from the ear; with or without fever.! SEVERE OR PERSISTANT HEADACHE, especially if accompanied by fever.! HEAD LICE must show proof of treatment and be cleared by the school nurse. Please notify the nurse immediately if your child has had any of the following: Chicken pox, Scabies, Conjunctivitis, Head Lice, Pneumonia, Strep infection, Pertussis, Shingles, Pinworms, Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, Fifth s Disease, Ringworm, or Impetigo If you child has any of the above symptoms it is better to let them stay home until they are feeling better, and are ready to learn for a full day in a classroom. When in doubt please contact your child s pediatrician. (In most cases they can return 24 hours after symptom free or 24 hours after the start of medication) Debra Czuprynski, RN Cleveland Hill School Nurse

A prescription medication will need to be in the original container with a pharmacy label. Over-thecounter medications must also be in an original container and labeled with a name. Your child will NOT BE GIVEN MEDICATION until all three of these are in components are in place. A form has been attached for your convenience.
