Reporting Absences
If a child has a fever, he/she needs to be fever free for 24 hours, with no medication, before returning to school.
On the day your child returns to school, an explanatory note should be submitted to the school indicating the date(s) and reason for the absence. A doctor's certificate is required in cases of long-term absence (more than three days). A note should also be submitted upon return, to request exclusion from activities (i.e., physical education). Should you need more information or assistance please contact our nurse Judith Bruce judith_bruce@hcpss.org or our health assistant Janet Eldridge janet_eldridge@hcpss.org.

Forms:
The school system does not carry medical insurance for accidents that occur at school, including non-sport related injuries, such as trips and falls, physical education injuries, and recess/playground injuries. Thus, parents are encouraged to enroll students in the accident insurance program offered through HCPSS.
