    A clinic worker is available during school hours to care for the health and welfare of the students. 

    If your child suffers from any health-related issues, a "Health Management Plan" (available at the clinic or through the corresponding links below) must be maintained on file in the clinic. These forms will provide us with all the medical information needed to best care for your child while at school. These health management plans must be renewed every year in case something has changed in your child's health care.

    Please, keep your child at home from school if he/she
     
    • Has a fever of 101 or 100.4 with symptoms. Children must be fever-free for 24 hours, without the help of fever-reducing medication, like Tylenol (Acetaminophen) or Motrin (Ibuprofen), before they can return to school.

    • Persistent cough, disruptive to class.
