Annual Physical

Illness/Injury

If a student becomes ill or is injured at school, the student should visit the nurse. The nurse will assess the student and, if necessary, will call the parent or guardian to pick up the student. The nurse will care for the student in the interim. In the event the illness or injury requires emergency action, the nurse will call 911, and the parents immediately after that.

If a student wakes up feeling sick, is vomiting, or has a fever, the student should stay home. Students are asked to be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.

If a student misses three or more consecutive days of school for an illness, they will need a doctor's note to return to school.

If a student has a contagious condition such as pink eye, mononucleosis, etc., please let the nurse know as soon as possible. Students will need to stay home until a doctor provides clearance to return.

If your child will be absent or requires an early dismissal, please contact the Student Life Office at (615) 590-6037 or melissa.baxter@popeprep.org or the receptionist at shanon.baldini@popeprep.org.
