Student Health and Wellness

• Students who have a temperature of 100.0 or higher are not allowed to remain at school
• Schools may send students home in the absence of a fever, if they generally appear unwell and/or present with other signs of illness, ie. productive coughs, vomiting diarrhea, cold symptoms, etc.
• Students with a fever, vomiting or diarrhea must be free of these symptoms for a period of 24 hours without the aid of medication, prior to returning to school.
• students with suspected communicable diseases will be excluded from school. Written clearance from a healthcare provider will be required in order for the student to return to school.
• Please see the Parent & Student Handbook for requirements for medication to be given during the school day.

If your student was injured at school and you believe it was due to site negligence, you may be able to submit a claim for damages to recover those expenses. In order to see if you are eligible, please complete the following:

• Ask your school site for a "Claims for Damages" form.
• Once complete, attach your expenses and return to the school site. If you are still incurring expenses, please note that on the form.
• The school site will send the form to the Risk Management Office.
• Risk Management will gather supporting school documents and submit to the school insurance.
• Once this information is submitted, the Insurance Company Claim Manager will be in contact with you, either by phone or email.
• Claims must be submitted within six months of the date of injury to be considered.
