Illness
If your child becomes ill, he/she must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. Students with unexplained rashes, chicken pox, pink eye, impetigo, scabies, ringowrm, or any type of contagious disease should be reported to the school nurse. Students with these illnesses will need to be cleared by the school nurse before returning to school.
If you child has diarrhea or vomiting, he/she must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. If you have any question about whether or not to keep your child home, please contact Mrs. Friedrich at 477-6109.
Medication At School
Requirements for administering medication to students by school personnel are as follows:
1. The prescribed medicatio MUST be in the original container bearing the original pharmacy label with the directions form the physician, name of the medication, date and student's name. The non-prescription (over-the-counter) medication MUST be in the original container. Written instructions from the parent/guardian must accompany any medication to be given at school.
2. The parent or guardian MUST sign an Authorization for Administering Medication by School Personnell form provided by the nurse. This will be kept on file in the Nurse's Office.
3. New state law prohibits children carrying medications to school. An adult must deliver medications to the Nurse's Office. Bus transportation provides an envelope for children's medication that is handed to the driver for transport.
Emergency Cards
These cards are sent home on the first day of school each year, for the praent/guardian to complete, sign and return to school on the second school day. This information provides a link between the school and the parent/guardian in the event of an illness or ememgency. Remember to contact the Nurse immediately if any information on your emergency card changes during the school year. DO NOT list non-custodial parents or other adults on this card who are not to have contact with your child.
Vision Screening
A vision screening is performed for students in grades Kdg, 1st, 3rd, and newly enrolled students. Parents or teachers may request an additional vision screening if visual difficulties are suspected.
Hearing Screening
All students in grades 1 and 4 have their hearing checked with an Audiometer. This screening is available for students displaying hearing difficulties on a referral basis. Our Kindergarten students are tests as an extra service to our families as the State does not require that Kindergarten students have a hearing screening.
Dental Health
Each year, the St. Mary's Mobile Dental Clinic visits Vogel School. If you would like your child to visit the Mobile Dental Clinic please see Mrs. Friedrich in the Nurse's Office.
