- Coughing, sneezing, and/or runny nose
- Rash or unusual sores or spots

NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY if your child is exposed to or contracts chicken pox, mumps or measles. These conditions can be life threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems.
For any chronic illness, (such as anxiety, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), frequent migraines, diabetes) please contact the School Nurse directly. Always bring a copy of a physician’s note to school and/or notify the school if your child will have an extended absence due to a health condition for 10 days or longer.
