Henrico County Public Schools strives to be proactive in anticipating school health-care needs. The HCPS Department of School Health Services believes that students thrive in a collaborative, holistic environment. The department communicates regularly with instructors about their students’ needs, and embraces an approach to student health care that is all-inclusive.
If students, teachers, staff members or families think someone in the school community needs medical care, please let your school nurse or another member of the School Health Services Department know.
When to keep your Cub at home
Students should not be in school if they:
- Have a fever of 100.4 degrees or greater before taking a fever-reducing medication.
- Are experiencing vomiting or diarrhea because of illness.
- Have an unknown rash or possible contagious condition.
- Are unable to focus due to pain, a chronic health condition or an acute illness.
- Have a flu-like illness (with or without fever), characterized by headache, fatigue, cough, aches, weakness and sore throat.
Please be prompt when picking up your ill or injured child in order to minimize his or her chance of spreading or acquiring a contagious illness.
A child should be free of symptoms of contagious disease (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, suspicious rash, etc.) for 24 hours before returning to school.
