Handling Illness
Please do not send your child to school when he or she is not feeling well. If your child has an axillary (underarm) temperature >100, vomiting, or diarrhea keep them home from school until all symptoms are clear for 24 hours.
Children with a persistent or productive cough, eye drainage, sore throat, congestion or nasal drainage that is not clear may need further evaluation before attending school. Additionally, any child with rash (with or without a fever) should be evaluated by a provider prior to returning to school. When children come back to school too soon, their illnesses can be spread throughout the classroom. If you have questions about when to exclude or have your child return, please contact me.
Back to School Reminders
7th Grade Vaccination Requirements
State law requires students entering 7th grade receive one dose of Tetanus-Diphtheria-Acellular Pertussis (Tdap) and 1 dose of Meningococcal Conjugate. Ohio requires the Tdap vaccine, as opposed to Td, to protect against whooping cough.
Once your child has received these immunizations please provide an updated immunization record to the school nurse. Documentation is requested prior to the first day of school. Students will be excluded from school if verification of the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines is not received.
Incoming Kindergarteners
Require the following (forms are in your registration folder):
Copy of Immunization Record-compliant with vaccine requirements for entrance
Physical Examination-within the last 12 months-completed by medical provider
Oral Assessment-within the last 6 months-completed by dentist
Health History-completed by parent/guardian
Authorization to Disclose Immunization Information
Kindergarteners will be excluded from school if the above forms are not completed and received by the 15thday of school.
All New Students Grade 1-8
Please provide an updated immunization record.
Student Health Care Plans
Many students have a health condition/medication administration that is managed at school. The school nurse in collaboration with the student, family, educators, and healthcare providers will create a school health plan.
Students that have been identified from the previous school year as a potential student needing routine attention from the school nurse were provided with a health packet at the end of last year. If you need replacement information or are a new student needing information please contact Mrs. Griffis, the school nurse, griffisn@saseas.org
