Health Attendance Practices
If your KECC student is showing any symptoms of illness, they are unable to attend school.
If symptoms develop at school, the nurse will determine whether your child can remain; you will be notified immediately. When pick up is necessary, we expect you to arrive within ONE HOUR of receiving the phone call. If this policy is violated more than three times, you may be asked to withdraw your child.
Your child may return to school as indicated below OR when they have been fever-free without medication for 24 hours. Re-admittance may require a written doctor's note stating that the child is well enough to attend school and is not contagious. By signing this document in Brightwheel, you are acknowledging that you agree to uphold our current health practices, with the knowledge that these practices may be amended at anytime in the future.
