Absences & Tardiness: If your child will be absent or late, please call the absentee line at 508-229-1250 (press 5). When reporting an absence, please include your child’s name, teacher, and reason for the absence. If your child is absent due to illness, please also provide their symptoms (e.g., rash, fever, cough, sore throat, vomiting, COVID-19 symptoms, etc.).
Contagious Illnesses: If your child has a contagious illness such as chicken pox, Fifth disease, strep throat, conjunctivitis, impetigo, MRSA, measles, pertussis, or lice, please notify the Health Office so that necessary steps can be taken to protect students who are immunocompromised.
If Your Child Becomes Ill at School: Your child will be assessed by the school nurse. If it is determined that your child needs to be dismissed, a parent/guardian will be notified of the anticipated dismissal, with a guideline of pickup within 30 minutes. Parents/guardians should come to the main office to sign their child out, then proceed to the Health Office to pick up the student. The recommended plan of care and requirements for returning to school will be discussed with the parent/guardian at dismissal.
