Communicable Disease
If your child shows signs of a communicable disease, please consult your physician. The state law requires that children with certain diseases be excluded from school for a prescribed period of time.

The duration of the period of exclusion from school for these specific diseases is as follows:

	Measles - any type - six days from the appearance of the rash
	Whooping cough - 28 days from the onset
	Respiratory streptococcal infection - strep throat, scarlet fever, etc. - not less than seven days from the onset if no doctor is in attendance
	Mumps or chicken pox - excluded from school by authority of the school nurse during the period of time there is any swelling present from mumps or until all the chicken pox have started to crust.
	Impetigo, ringworm, scabies, pink eye, tonsillitis, head and body lice, and trachoma (a contagious infection of the eyelids) - all require exclusion, but there is no set interval of time during which the child may not attend school.

Please notify the teacher if your child has had a communicable disease in order that we may keep accurate records.
