HEALTH & WELLNESS

The following guidelines are to help us provide a safe and healthy environment for our community.

Keep your child(ren) at home for treatment and observation if:

• Fever above 37,5 C (99,5 F). 
• Vomiting (even once). 
• Diarrhea (even once). 
• Chills. 
• Generally unwell or feelings of fatigue, discomfort. 
• Weakness or muscle aches. 
• Frequent mucus-producing cough. 
• Lots of nasal congestion with frequent blowing of the nose. 

IMPORTANT: If you keep your child at home due to illness, it's essential to notify the school nurses on the first day.

Your child(ren) are welcome at school if they can fulfill the following requirements:

• Been symptom-free for a minimum of 24 hours (from any communicable disease). 
• Is fever free with a temperature below 37.5 (99,5 F) - without the use of fever-reducing medicine (e.g., paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.). 
• Can energetically participate in all school activities as well as outdoor recess. 

Injuries

If your child(ren) suffered an injury (i.e., surgery, hospitalization, use of wheelchair or casts):

You MUST send a copy of the note from your doctor confirming that your child is clear to return to normal activities to the school nurses (nurse@lincoln.edu.ar), before coming back to school.

If there are any restrictions or activity limitations (i.e., exclusion from participating in physical education or recess) or precautions, the doctor’s note must include this information.

Keeping Safety Measures in School

• Stay home if you have symptoms of illness. 
• Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer. 
• Ventilate shared spaces often. 
• Avoid sharing drinking or eating utensils with others. 
• Inform the school nurses of illness or onset of symptoms.
