At Sierra Vista Junior High School we care about kids. When a child becomes ill at school, he/she will receive every care and consideration. Parents will be contacted. With so many students and little space in the health office we ask for your full cooperation in picking up a sick child in a reasonable amount of time. We do not have the accommodations for a child to sit in the health office for an extended period of time, and generally he/she will need to return to class after approximately 15 minutes. If, however, he/she is deemed quite ill he/she needs to be picked up as soon as possible. If a parent cannot pick up the child the parent will need to make arrangements with a relative or friend and convey this information to the health assistant. It is our goal to maintain the health and safety of every child.
If a child has one of the following, he/she should be kept at home:
Temperature of 100 degrees and over and/or a fever the previous day
Diarrhea
Green nasal discharge
Eye infections
Illness during the night
A rash associated with children’s diseases or of unexplained origin.
Your cooperation is very much appreciated in keeping our students healthy.
NOTE: If a student is suspected of being infected with a communicable disease (e.g. pink eye, chickenpox, unexplained rash, head lice), the student must leave school and cannot return without a signed release from a physician.
