A message from the School Nurse: With cold and flu season among us, if your child becomes sick at school and needs to go home due to illness, please have a plan in place for arrangements to pick up your child when the school nurse calls. Please remember that your child must be fever free ( less than 100F) for 24 hours without fever reducing medication (Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen). Your child must also not attend school if they have vomited or had diarrhea in the last 24 hours. Please feel free to call(ext 6508) or email (motchenbaughj@selsd.com) the school nurse with any questions or concerns.
