Our office personnel will treat minor cuts and abrasions at school. Please check with your child when he/she returns home sporting a new Band-Aid or excitedly tells you of his /her incident on the playground. In the event of an illness or head injury, every effort will be made to notify you that your child received care in the health room.
If your child is too ill to remain at school a parent/guardian will be contacted to pick up the student. Students may not return to school until they have been fever (100 degrees or higher), vomit, and/or diarrhea free for 24 hours without medication to treat it. Read more about the district
infectious disease policy.
Health Precautions
If you suspect your child has the flu please keep them home. Students may not return to school until their fever has been gone for 24 hours without medication.
Flu symptoms include:
- Fever of 100˚F or higher
- Cough or sore throat
Life-Threatening Health Conditions
Prior to attendance at school, each child with a life-threatening health condition must present a medication or treatment order and health plan addressing the condition signed by a healthcare provider and the parent/guardian. A life-threatening health condition means a condition that will put the child in danger of death during the school day if a medication or health plan is not in place.
Additional information and required district forms can be found at the Oak Harbor Public Schools
Health Services site.
