Contagious Illness

All families will be notified in case of an outbreak of a contagious disease or health concern. I request that all families notify the school if their family is experiencing a health concern.

Students will need to return home, if they:

1. Suffer from fever

2. Suffer from exhaustion

3. Suffer from nausea or vomiting

4. Suffer from general discomfort resulting in an inability to participate in school activities.

Emergency Policy

All families are required to complete an emergency and medical release form during the registration process. Families are required to update the information contained in these forms when appropriate. In case of an emergency, the school’s administration will contact the student’s parents or legal guardians by phone. If the emergency contacts are unavailable, the administrator shall arrange for licensed physicians to administer emergency treatment to the student. Emergency transportation shall be arranged by the school administrator and paid for by the student’s parent or guardian.

Health Records and Policies

The Progressive Schoolhouse requests that all families, prior to enrollment, complete the health and development form issued by the school. Families are requested to update this form as information changes.

Health Screening/ Testing

Students must be tested for hearing and sight prior to the first grade and again before the sixth grade. Test results are to be documented in the students file.

Lunches and Snacks

Families are requested to supply adequate nutritious meals and snacks for their children. Water is available at all times for drinking. Please label all mealtime containers with student’s name. Refrigeration and microwave is available for all meal preparation.

Minor Health Related Emergencies

School administration and staff will apply first aid and administer prescribed medicines upon arrangement with families. All staff members are trained and certified in C.P.R. and first aid.
