- Childhood Diseases (e.g., chickenpox, mumps, measles): Students must stay home until a doctor’s statement verifies, they may return to school.
- Contagious Ailments (e.g., scabies): Students diagnosed with contagious conditions must stay home until treatment is complete and they are no longer contagious.
Immunizations
To maintain a safe and healthy school environment, all students must provide up-to-date documentation of immunizations as part of enrollment.
