Student Illness and Absence
Call or Email the Main Office to Let Us Know
Our phone number is 503-355-2772.
The email is amya@nknsd.org
It is important to let us know that your child will not be attending so we do not worry about them. If your child is not at school, and we haven't heard from you, then you will receive an automated phone call notifying you of your child's absence.'
How long does my child need to wait to return to school after an illness?
The answer to this question depends on their symptoms. Our school has to follow the directives from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) regarding when students may be readmitted to school after an illness. Please review the provided info from OHA. Please also note that the period of exclusion often requires 24 hours away from school (this is not a rule that the school developed, but one we have to follow).
Medication
All prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medication must be administered at the office by trained personnel.
Medication that you want your child to take during the school day has to be brought to the office in the original container (or we cannot take possession of the medication). Parents must complete the medicine administration form before trained personnel can dispense medication to a child. ALL OTC medications must be handled through the office (this includes cough drops). If you have any questions about medication administration and school, please contact our main office.
