All health and immunization forms must be returned to the director on or before the first day of school. Montgomery County law prohibits a child from attending school without documented evidence of immunization.
Children who are sick not only spread germs, but also have a hard time learning and participating in school activities and should not be brought to school.
Parents are asked to keep a child home if:
 |
He/she has had a fever (over 100º F) in the past 24 hours, a deep chest cough, or a sore throat. |
|
He/she has red runny eyes or a runny nose with green discharge. |
|
He/she has had diarrhea or vomiting in the past 24 hours. |
|
He/she has an unexplained rash. |
If children develop these symptoms at school the parents will be notified and expected to pick up the child.
BCNS will only dispense prescription medication if it is accompanied by a prescription and doctor’s form indicating the precise time and quantity to be administered. Non-prescription medication may be brought into the school and administered only by a parent/guardian.
