** IMPORTANT **
If your child is sick with any illness and has vomiting, diarrhea or a fever greater than 100.4, the child must be free of any of these symptoms for 24 hours, without the use of medications, before they can return to school.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL?
If you know your child has a medical condition that will require assistance while at school, please let me know. These might include diabetes, asthma, severe allergies, or seizures. You will be asked to have a health treatment plan completed by your doctor, which will provide us a plan of action to follow that will be consistent with what you and your doctor are already doing for your child. If your child will require medications while at school, PWCS requires the proper forms be completed. All medication must be provided and transported by the parent or an adult.

EARLY EYE EXAMS
Early diagnosis of eye disease is crucial to the effective treatment and development of a child. A doctor will check the child's vision at birth and again during the first year. With the doctor's recommendation, the next exam should be done at 3 years old, then between the ages of 4 and 5, before entering kindergarten.
- Please remember to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw used tissues in the trash.
- If you don't have a tissue, cough, or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands.
- Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, dry hands with a paper towel, and use the paper towel to turn off the faucet.
- If soap and water are not available, hand sanitizers may also be used to preform hand hygiene.
- Remember to stay home when you’re sick until at least 24 hours without a fever or the use of fever reducing medicine.
Together we can help stop the spread of germs that may make you and others ill.
