The Coleman Clinic Catch Up

The guidelines below have been developed for the exclusion of student who have communicable or contagious diseases.

A student with any of the following symptoms will be excluded from school until such time as the student is free of symptoms, has been satisfactorily treated or submits a signed physician’s statement that he/she is not contagious.

• Temperature of 100 degrees or more. Student must be fever free for 24 hours, without medication, before re-entry.

• Undetermined rash over any part of the body accompanied by fever.

• Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Student must be symptom free for 24 hours without medication before re-entry.

• Red, draining eyes.

• Intense itching with signs and symptoms of secondary infection.

• Open, draining lesions.

• Jaundice

For readmission, some diseases may require a statement from the student’s physician affirming that the student is not contagious.

This past month some of our 5th grade Health Heroes assisted with Vision and Hearing screenings here at Coleman! During their specials or WIN time in class, these students were educated on how to perform the screenings, grabbed kiddos from their classrooms, and managed the written documentation used to track passes and fails. Together we screened over 500 STUDENTS!! Stay tuned for all of our December fun coming up!!
