Student illness

If children attend the program with any of the following symptoms, the parent/guardian will be contacted immediately to pick-up the child:

• Temperature registering above 100 degrees. Temperature must be normal (98.6°F) for 24 hours before returning.
   
• Fever, vomiting, diarrhea, any undiagnosed rash, discharge from eye, ears or profuse nasal discharge, severe cold symptoms.

Exposure to communicable diseases (whooping cough, measles, pink eye, ringworm, fifth's disease, mumps, chicken pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, strep throat) should be reported to staff. If your child is contagious, he/she may not attend Adventures Plus until 24 hours after medication begins.

If a parent is unable to pick-up the sick child within one hour of being contacted, they are expected to contact an authorized person to pick-up the child. In cases where the parent/guardian is unable to be reached, the person listed on the emergency form will be contacted. When isolation of a child due to communicable illness is necessary, the child will rest in a space away from other children until a parent/guardian arrives for pick-up.

Children attending Adventures Plus programs should be healthy enough to engage in all activities. Adventures Plus staff are not trained to make a medical diagnosis but only to observe and inform the parent/guardian of any signs of illness. If staff observe signs of illness, the parent/guardian will be contacted and will need to pick-up their child.
