      Please do not send students to school with

        diarrhea or vomiting even if you have given

        medication for this.

      Please do not send students to school with a

      fever (100 degrees or higher) even if you have

                          fever free for a complete 24 hours without the use

                          of fever reducing medications such as Tylenol

                          (acetaminophen) or  Motrin and Advil (ibuprofen).

       medication to school, this includes prescription

        or over the counter medications. A parent or

        another adult authorized by the parent are the

        only way medications are to be brought to

        all medications, prescription or

        others, must have a written order

        from a physician in order for them

        to be given to the student.

Don't forget to have good hygiene!
