Handbook Excerpt Regarding Illness and Fever Policy:

Illness and Fever
Upon the recommendations of the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child should not be brought to school when any of the following exists:
  • Fever
  • Vomiting or Diarrhea
  • Any known contagious childhood disease such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough, meningitis, hepatitis, etc.
  • Common cold – from onset through 1 week
  • Sore throat 
  • Any unexplained rash
  • Any skin infection – boils, ringworm, impetigo
  • Pink eye or other eye infection

It is our policy that a child be free of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea for twenty-four (24) hours before returning to school.

Policy Updates- policies stated below override policies in the Handbook.

GRADELINK:
Page 15 of Handbook- Gradelink will be used as the primary communication for report cards and progress reports. Some teachers will use Gradelink to post grades regularly, but it is not a requirement for grades to be updated daily or even weekly. The main means of communicating assignment and assessment grades with parents will be by sending them home. If workbooks are sent home for parent review, they should be sent back to school the next day. Quizzes and Tests must be signed by the parent and sent back to school for our school records and assessment security. This will allow our families an opportunity for partnership in better understanding their child's grade, the content we are covering at school, how their child's handwriting looks, etc.
