*A minimum of 2 emergency contacts (other than parents) must be added to Skyward. All students that are ill will need to be picked up within 30 minutes and no longer than one hour. Please make sure your voicemail box is set up so that me may leave a message if needed. We are asking that you please check your phone frequently during the school hours.
*Parents will be called and updated in the event their child was seen by the nurse for a medical issue but may not necessarily receive a call for a minor issue.
*Students are discouraged to call/text their parent to be picked up from school because they are not feeling well. All students needs to be seen by the nurse to determine if the student needs to be sent home…..this helps us in keeping track of which student went home and why.
