Why a Catholic Education Matters 
 It is important to keep God in our schools and gives our children a sense of community and teaches respect for others.  It also makes a daily priority of reinforcing the values that are important to all of us.  A positive spirit is important for whole body health.

Health Services News

A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff.  We suggest making a plan for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a comforting place for your child to stay if he/she is ill.

Our school policy states that you should not send your child to school if he/she has:

  • Fever in the past 24 hours
  • Vomiting in the past 24 hours
  • Diarrhea in the past 24 hours
  • Chills
  • Sore throat
  • Strep Throat (must have been taking an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school)
  • Bad cold, with a very runny nose or bad cough, especially if  it has kept the child awake at night
If your child does stay home, please notify the school.  A note will be required upon their return.

Over the Counter Medications
Per the school policy handbook and NYS Health law:

If your child is to receive medication at school, whether Over The Counter (OTC) or prescription it is required that you get a written order from the physician to the Health Office, as well as the medication.

Please remind your child that there is NO MEDICATION ALLOWED TO BE CARRIED IN SCHOOL OR TO BE TAKEN ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT A WRITTEN ORDER FROM THEIR DR.
