1.
The student's temperature will be taken if he/she has complaints
of an illness. If the student's temperature is 101 degrees Fahrenheit
or higher, a parent/guardian will be required to pick up the student.
2. First aid and emergency care is administered to the student based upon the "CCSD First Aid/Emergency Care Guidelines for Handling Accidents and Illnesses Occurring at School".
3. Students may request that the school nurse or FASA call his/her parent/guardian. If you have a question as to whether or not your student should be picked up, the health office staff will provide information regarding the student's health status.
4. A student suspected of having a contagious or infectious disease will be required to be picked up by a parent/guardian. Verification by a licensed health care provider or the Health Department that the student is not contagious is required for the student to return to school.
- 5. For minor complaints, students without a temperature will be encouraged to return to class. If they are unable to return to class, a parent/guardian will be contacted to pick them up.
- A. Please be sure that we have your current home, work and
emergency telephone numbers (including pager and/or cellular

or is taking medication either at home or school, please notify the health
office at 799-5990.
