Illness
Please call the preschool office (703-904-3827)
or the main office (703-904-3800) if your child is going to be
absent from school. If there is any question whether or not your
child is ill, please do not send him/her to school. If
your child has a fever or diarrhea, he/she may not attend
school. It is school policy that children be symptom free
for 24 hours before returning to school. Some of our children
are extremely susceptible to illness, and we would like to keep
exposure to a minimum. If your child becomes ill during the class
day, the teacher or clinic aide will call you immediately. If
you cannot be reached, the people listed on your Emergency Care
Card will be called. Please keep your Emergency Care Card up to
date.
