Hearing screening

Hearing screenings were conducted on September 11 for students in grades K, 1, 2 and 5 and those students on IEP’s or new to the district.

Parents will be informed if their student did not pass.  Please call Mrs. Rettig with any questions.

Kindergarten parents:  Have you turned in all of the required health information to the school nurse?  If not, let this be a reminder to get that information to Mrs. Rettig as soon as possible.  Students with incomplete health information may be excluded from school until the requirements are met.

Parents:  Help stop illnesses from spreading at our school.  Take a moment to review the following exclusion policy for ill students:

Students with the following health condition(s) shall be excluded from school:

       Oral temperature of 100 degrees F or higher

       Elevated (or possibly a normal) temperature combined with any of the following: a      severe cold with yellow-green nasal discharge, excessive coughing, swollen glands, or    skin rash

       Eyes inflamed with purulent discharge

       Drainage from ear(s)

       Head lice (must be lice-free with continued progress toward removing nits to come back to school)

       Skin lesions (i.e. impetigo, ringworm and scabies) until under treatment

       Vomiting

       Diarrhea (i.e. two or more loose stools)

       Fainting, seizure, or general signs of listlessness

       Communicable disease

Students will be re-admitted after being fever-free or symptom-free for 24 hours. Students with some conditions may return to school after being treated for 24 hours with an antibiotic. Call the school nurse for specific readmission guidelines.

Thanks for helping keep students healthy here at Ravenwood.
