The following guidelines are in place to keep our students and teachers healthy:

  • The child's parents will be notified if a student becomes ill at school.
  • We will take the child's temperature under the arm if a fever is suspected.
  • Please do not send your child to school with a fever, even after administering a fever reducer.
