IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR...

In order to promote a healthy environment at school for your children, we ask that you be particularly alert to the beginning signs of illness in your child. Keeping them home during an illness until they are completely well will help prevent spread of illness to others in the school. The following are some symptoms to watch for:

• Thick mucus from the nose 
• Persistent, productive cough or persistent sneezing
• Fever of 100.0 or higher 
• Toothache or tenderness
• Nausea or vomitting or diarrhea
• Swelling of jaw
• Excessive Drowsiness
• Red eyes or discharge from eyes or ears, earache
• Sore throat
• Persistent abdominal discomfort
• Any rash that is not normal

If your child has any of these symptoms at school, you may be contacted. You will be expected to make arrangements to pick your child up from school as soon as possible. An emergency telephone number where parents can be reached either at home or work must be on file at the school. Please update any number changes or corrections via the parent portal. Children may not return to school within 24 hours of a fever. To assist us in providing the best possible care for your child at school, please keep us informed of any changes in your child’s healthstatus-including medication changes, allergies, etc., by contact our school health office: Marni Noldin via email marni.noldin@oshkosh.k12.wi.us.
