NOTES FROM THE CLINIC:

Mrs. Rogers
School Nurse

Hello. My name is Wendy Rogers and I have been an RN since 1995 and have been a school nurse for the Fort Zumwalt School District since 2005. The mission of the Flint Hill Elementary Clinic is to keep our students healthy and safe. I hope you find the following information helpful.

Question: When do I keep my child home from school?

Knowing when to send your child to school and when to keep him/her home can be a tough judgment call. You should consider keeping your child home if any of the following symptoms are observed:

Diarrhea
Vomiting
Fever (see note below)
Severe sore throat or very red throat accompanied by stomach ache
Wheezing/difficulty breathing
Redness/discharge from eye
Uncontrolled or severe coughing
Skin problems: rashes of unknown origins

All student absences should be verified by calling into the office. Please inform the school if your child has a communicable illness, such as strep throat, influenza, etc.!

You may even call outside school hours and leave a message on the Attendance Line. School phone number is 636-542-7095.

Note on Fevers:
A student with a body temperature of 100.0 or above and who has additional indications of illness will be sent home. The district recommends that a student with a fever of 101.0 and above remain out of school for 24 hours after fever returns to normal.
