HEALTH AND MEDICAL ISSUES

In order to complete enrollment, your child’s medical forms need to be completed and returned with the other enrollment forms.

An up-to-date health form, signed by a physician, must be on file the first day your child attends Koala House. This form must include all dates of immunizations required by government health regulations.

Sickness

Symptoms such as a cold with fever, severe cough, skin eruptions, sore throat, fever of 100 degrees, discharge from the eyes or ears, vomiting or diarrhea, will necessitate our sending your child home. Parents must have the sick child picked up within an hour of notification. A sick child who is sent home may return to school 24 hours after he is free of all symptoms. A doctor’s slip may be required if there is a question regarding the child’s health. Parents will be notified when a child has been exposed to a communicable disease within the school. Parents should likewise notify the school when your child has been exposed to a disease outside Koala House.

When your child is absent due to sickness, please contact the school’s office first thing in the morning in order to keep us informed.

•  The medication is furnished by the parent or guardian in the original container.
