Communication from School Nurses
Respiratory illnesses with fever and cough continue to be prevalent in the community and surrounding areas. As a reminder, please keep your children home if they are sick and reach out to us for guidance on attending school should you have any questions or concerns. Children may return to school after an absence for illness when they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and their symptoms have improved.
Please keep us informed of the symptoms associated with illness when your child is absent. Providing a note from their healthcare provider is important should there be an absence of more than two days.
For all absences, a written and signed note must be provided upon your child’s return to school, unless a doctor's note has been provided, giving the reason for the absence.
Please remind your children to wash their hands frequently, get ample rest, and bring a water bottle to school daily. We are thankful for your continued efforts to support the wellness of our schools and community.

Mendham Borough School District Chain of Command
The purpose of the Mendham Borough School District Chain of Command is to clarify and simplify the process for contacting the school about a specific concern or matter. Please use the chart below as a guide for determining who should be the primary contact based on the nature of the matter/concerns. One should always start with the individual or office responsible for the area at Level 1 before proceeding up the chain of command as it becomes necessary.
