WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME
Students must stay home if they have a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.
They may return to school only after being fever-free for at least 24 hourswithout the use of fever-reducing medication (such as Tylenol/Acetaminophen or Advil/Ibuprofen).
If a student develops a fever at school, a parent or guardian will be contacted to pick them up promptly.
Please monitor your child for other symptoms such as chills, cough, sore throat, or fatigue, and keep them home if they appear unwell.
Medication Policy
Prescription medications must be emailed to the school clinic at clinic@ans.edu.nibefore they can be administered during school hours.
All medications must be handled by medical staff only. (Students are not permitted to carry or self-administer medications).
If your child is under treatment for any condition and needs medication during school hours, it must be given to the clinic directly by a parent or legal guardian.
