PUMP Sick Policy
HEALTH POLICY
As always, we ask students and staff to stay home if they are feeling sick. Please err on the side of caution. Our littles love to share many things including germs and we would like to mitigate this from the start.
- We ask that all students & staff remain home when they are sick. Before dropping your child off at preschool, please consider the following statements.
- Fever reducers/medications will not be given to my child on any day of attendance, regardless of reason
- If a student becomes ill or injured while at school, he/she will be taken to the director’s office for supervision. A parent or authorized person will be notified. (911 if necessary)
- Students who have been ill may return to school when they are feeling better. Please allow at least 48 hours fever free without medication before your child returns to preschool following an illness to prevent the spreading of germs. (A fever is anything 99.5 degrees and over.)
- Parents will be notified if their child has been exposed to a contagious illness (ex: chicken pox, conjunctivitis, COVID etc). Teachers will encourage children to practice procedures that will prevent the spread of contagious diseases and illnesses. Our goal is to maintain a healthy environment for all children and staff.
