Halsey Schools Illness Policy

Would you like to keep your child from getting sick? We can all help keep the spread of illnesses down at school by keeping our children home when ill.Your child becomes ill by catching viruses, (a.k.a. Germs, bacteria): from other children at school, from you (after getting something from work or elsewhere), from neighbors, from brothers and sisters, etc. Viruses are transferred: by touching others, breathing air born viruses, touching items with viruses on them etc. Colds are not caused by cold weather, exposure to cold, or changes in temperature. The ONLY way to catch a cold is to be infected by a virus.

At Halsey Schools we help control the spread of viruses with regular cleaning and sanitizing of bathrooms, floors, carpets, toys, equipment etc. We, both teachers and children, wash our hands regularly throughout the day and always before we eat.

 
Did you know you can decrease your child’s illnesses by as much as 50% by simply washing his or her hands before leaving schools, grocery stores, movie theaters, or other social gatherings? It’s true! So be sure to wash those hands.
 

The following are some common illnesses children contract. The right-hand column states our general policy on school attendance with these illnesses. Halsey Schools reserves the right to exclude a child from school at anytime for any reason, even if a doctor or other recommends otherwise. If your child visits a doctor, please ask for a return authorization note. Even with a note Halsey Schools reserves the right to refuse attendance at anytime for any reason. (If we have 3 or more children come down with something we provide more information on the illness.)

If your child is sent home with an illness today
he/she will not be permitted back to school tomorrow.

If your child will be out for any reason please call or email the school by 10:00 a.m.
Sick@HalseySchools.com

Yes, with a doctor’s note or prescription. Please complete the medication form weekly. If a child has a fever, we cannot administer medication and he/she cannot come to school. He/She needs your special love and attention. Please bring the medication in to the school yourself and hand directly to an adult. Never give it to the child or leave it in his/her bag etc.

We hold drills regularly. Our buildings are regularly inspected by Fire & Health Departments & the Department of Social Services. If needed we will evacuate to one of our other facilities or Saint Luke's Church. We stock extra water & food. Infants need 2 wks of parent provided formula & baby food on hand at all times.

If you need to keep your child here later (not after 6:30) on an emergency basis, please give us a call or a note. The charge will only be $5 an hour. After 6:30 late fees start at $1 per minute, payable to the closing teacher. Regular late fees after 12:30 and 3:00 are $10 per 15 minutes. You may want to change your child's schedule if you find you can not make your pickup time.

Of course! You are always welcome to attend field trips or visit the school at anytime. Field Trips are open to children 3 years old and potty trained. Halsey T-Shirt & permission slip required.

Yes! Out grown toys & clothes get an exciting new life in our classrooms. Please take a look at our parent requested wish lists posted in the classrooms. The children love ordinary household items you might toss out; suits, ties, dresses, handbags, spoons... We can always use: empty paper towel roles, empty toilet paper rolls, 'G' rated magazines...
