For the protection of children and staff, please keep your child at home if they display any signs of illness such as fever, persistent coughing, vomiting, cloudy discharge from the nose or diarrhea. We require a 24 hour incubation period between bouts of fever, vomiting, diarrhea and coughing. If these symptoms should arise during school, we will contact you or someone on your emergency list to pick up your child immediately. We will try to isolate the child as best as possible and make them comfortable. State law prohibits the staff from dispensing over the counter drugs to children, but we may dispense prescription drugs with a signed parental authorization form. The School should be notified of any illness immediately.
Cuts and scrapes will be treated with clean water and a band-aide. State laws prohibits us from using any medication on cuts and scrapes. Ice will be applied to bumps and bruises and an injury report will be filed.
Head lice (ukus) are prevalent in Hawaii, especially among school-aged children. The children are checked frequently and if head lice or eggs (nits) are found, we are REQUIRED to contact the parent and the child must be picked up immediately. The child will not be allowed to return to school until hair is completely free of nits.
