We need to account for every person in the building and for the safety of our faculty and students.  If you are checking out a student you are required to have a photo ID or Driver's License. 

How long do I need to wait before sending my child back to school when they have a fever?
If your child has taken fever reducing medicines, he/she may NOT return to school unless they have been fever free for 24 hours.  If students come to school with a fever, this behavior puts others at risk of catching the virus.  If your child is running a fever, we will contact you to arrange to pick him/her up, as no child will ride the bus with a fever.  If students are sent home with a fever, they may return to school after they have been fever free for 24 hours WITHOUT medicine.
