Welcome to the Elm Drive health office! 
Cold and flu season is here! For the health of not only your child, but all students and staff, your child must be fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication, before returning to school. Please keep your child home for 24 hours after vomiting, diarrhea, and starting treatment for contagious illnesses such as strep throat and pink eye.
If your child requires medication to be given in school, including over the counter medication, there must be an order from the doctor and parental permission for the medication to be given in school. All medication must be brought to school by an adult. Never send medication to school with your child!
Please call when your child is absent and send in a note when they return or for your convenience, you may also email me at theresa.donovan@millbrookcsd.org explaining your child's absence and I will print it out as the absent note.
Send your child dressed for the weather so they can enjoy outdoor recess daily. We go outside if the temperature is above 20 degrees, factoring in the wind chill. Label all clothing so it can be easily returned if it ends up in the Lost and Found.
Health Appraisals
All children entering Kindergarten and Second Grade, as well as those new to the district, are required to have a health appraisal (physical). Either the school health appraisal form or the pediatrician’s form can be used. A health appraisal done within twelve months of the start of the school year is valid.
Immunizations
The following immunizations are required for entry to school:
- 3 diptheria, tetanus, pertussis
- 3 hepatitis B
- 3 polio
- 2 measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
- 1 varicella (chicken pox)
Whenever your child receives a new immunization, please send in an updated copy of the immunization record.
