Any serious injury or illness will be reported to parents. If a child becomes ill or is injured at school, he/she should tell the teacher who may send the child to the office.
The following procedures will be followed:
- Parents will be notified that the student is ill/injured if the condition is serious
enough for the parent to come after the child.
- In cases of illnesses or injuries requiring emergency medical attention, the student may be taken directly to the hospital and parents will be notified immediately.
Parents have the following obligations:
- If a student has a high fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, he/she should stay at home and
not attend school.
- When a student returns to school, the parent/guardian must send a note within 3
days explaining why the student was absent or a doctor’s statement if the student visited the doctor. (See Wilkes County Schools Attendance Policy)
