The nurses will assess or review the student's symptoms and call the parent or emergency contact if they advise that the student should be sent home. Usually this means they have thrown up, they have diarrhea, they have a temp over 100, or there has been a serious injury. The nurse may call to consult with the parent if needed. Please make sure your contact information is always up to date so that we can contact you without delay.
