Immunizations

Your child may not start school until we have proof of immunizations and your child is considered complete. Please contact me if that is going to be a problem for you. Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services has an immunization clinic: 269-373-5203, Calhoun County: (269) 969-6363. A hearing and vision check is also required before the start of school. 

Health Conditions

If your child has a health condition such as diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, food allergies or anything else please include this information in your registration paperwork and please reach out to me.

Medications at School

Over the counter medications may be brought to school if a parent signs the Medication Authorization Form for them to be administered at school. Medications must come in the original container with proper labeling. DO NOT send medication in with your child, a parent or guardian must bring it to the office, medications may not be sent on the bus.

Prescription medications require the Medication Authorization form with a doctor's signature. Medications that are given just once or twice a day should be given at home when at all possible. Medications must come in the original container with proper labeling from the pharmacy (child’s name, medication name, dose, frequency). A new doctor’s order form must be filled out yearly. DO NOT send medication in with your child, a parent or guardian must bring it to the office, medications may not be sent on the bus.

When to keep your child home from school:

For the protection of children at school we adhere to these guidelines, if your child is showing any of the following DO NOT send them to school:

• Rashes of unknown cause, and/or rapidly spreading rash
• Fever of 100.4 or greater (must be fever free for 24 hours before returning)
• Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and or diarrhea (symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school)
• Coughs that are constant, keeping the child from participating in activities and causes them to be uncomfortable
• Difficulty breathing
• Any open, draining wounds that have not been treated by a doctor
• Earache that has not been treated by a doctor
• Lethargy or less responsive
• Hospital stay or ER visit, need to be cleared to return by healthcare provider
• Communicate any health needs to nurse and school

When you may have a respiratory virus:

• Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others.
• You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true
  • Your symptoms are getting better overall
  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
• When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, mask , physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CALL THE SCHOOL TO REPORT YOUR CHILD’S ABSENCE PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT THEY ARE SICK WITH, AS THIS HELPS WITH TRACKING TRENDS AND CONTAINING ILLNESS
