Your child needs to stay home when showing signs and symptoms of illness.

Please call the DMS Clinic (401) 398-0695 when you anticipate your child being tardy or absent. If your child is out ill, it is helpful to know their symptoms to determine if an outbreak of one particular illness is occurring in the school.

We ask that students stay home for the following reasons:

  • Fever >100.4 F

  • Thick drainage from the nose or eyes or a cold that a young child cannot manage in the classroom

  • Vomiting or diarrhea

  • Persistent cough

  • Excessive fatigue and lethargy due to their illness

  • Known contagious condition (i.e., strep throat, impetigo, pink eye) that has not been properly treated

  • Symptoms of the Covid-19 virus pending a negative Covid test

EMERGENCY CARDS

Before school starts we ask that you update your child’s emergency card information through the Aspen Family Portal. The card is very important as it tells us the person to contact in case of injury or illness to a child. No child will be released to anyone not listed on the emergency card. Please immediately update any changes to the card in the ASPEN system.

MEDICATION IN SCHOOL

Grades K-5

No elementary student will be allowed to transport or self carry any medications. Any over the counter or prescription medicines must be brought to the school by the parent or guardian and handed to the school nurse.

Grades 6-12

All medications, with the exception of Tylenol and ibuprofen, require a Medication Permission Form signed by the child’s physician and legal guardian. Controlled substances (i.e. Adderall, Ritalin) must be brought to the clinic by the child’s parent or guardian in the original container and will be administered by the nurse per the prescribing doctor’s order. Please contact the nurse for more information.
