Alexandria Public Schools employs one school nurse district wide. A school health paraprofessional (SHP) or the building secretary will be responsible for your child’s health needs when the nurse is not available. To promote good health for students and staff, Alexandria Public Schools has established the following procedures: Reporting Illness or Absences When your child stays home with an illness, call your child’s school health services office. Returning to School Students may return to school as ordered by their health care provider or when their symptoms are gone. If a child has a fever, they should not return to school until their temperature has returned to normal for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. Students should also remain home for 24 hours after the last bout of vomiting or diarrhea.

Health Services

V aricella (Chicken Pox-either date of illness or date of immunization) In addition to the above, students entering 7th grade in September must also show evidence of a: • Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis) vaccine • Meningococcal vaccine Your child’s immunization records remain in the school system once enrolled. Be sure to update your child’s health file by sending written verification each time he or she has received another immunization. Parents may get a legal exemption from the school law for medical reasons or conscientiously held beliefs. A notarized statement indicating which immunizations are objected to is necessary before the start of the school year. Students who do not meet the requirements will be excluded from school according to the Minnesota State Immunization Law. For further information, visit the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) website, www.health.state.mn.us/immunize.

Parents requesting that their child be allowed to stay inside during recess due to medical or physical reasons should make the request in writing. In order to stay inside for physical or medical reasons beyond one day, a physician’s note is required.

Medication Policy and Procedure Parents may request that the school district administer medication to their child when it is necessary during the school day.

Send Home Policy If a student has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, or is determined to be too ill to be in school for the day (diarrhea, vomiting, suspicious rash, chronic coughing, etc.) the parent/guardian will be called to pick up their child.

• No medication is administered by health services personnel without specific written instructions from a physician. This includes all over the counter (OTC) medications, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen and cough drops, except as noted below.

Student Immunization Law According to the State Immunization Law, “All students must have a complete record of immunizations prior to attending school.” This applies to all students enrolled in any of the district’s schools as well as Early Education Center preschool classes or Early Childhood Special Education.

• Parent/guardian and prescribing health care provider must sign the authorization sheet for prescription medications given during the school day by staff. This form is found on the district website.

Students entering kindergarten must show evidence of having the following immunizations: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whopping Cough) • Five (5) • Four (4) Polio • Three (3) Hepatitis B • Two (2) MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella)

medication (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) can be carried by students in middle/high school, with the proper paperwork filed in the Health Office. Vision and Hearing Screenings Vision and hearing screenings will be given to all children in grades 1, 3, 5, and 7 each year per MDH recommendations. These screenings are typically conducted in September or early October. Parents/guardians will receive a referral letter advising them to consult a physician should a screening indicate a vision or hearing concern. In the event that your child should need glasses and that poses a financial hardship for your family, please contact the health services office at your child’s school to inquire about the “Have A Heart Fund” to assist with offsetting some of those costs. Scoliosis Screening Scoliosis screening is done by the school nurse for girls in 5th grade. Due to MDH recommendations, we rescreen girls the spring of their 6th grade school year. Physical Exam Recommendations & Requirements Early childhood screenings are required before entering Kindergarten (refer to page 34). It is recommended that children have a physical exam before entering kindergarten, grades 4, 7, 10 and have a yearly dental exam. Students who plan to participate in High School League activities must have a physical examination on file within the previous three years before the start of the activity’s season. For more information, please contact Melissa Bright, Licensed School Nurse, at (320) 762-2141 ext. 4135.

OTC pain-relieving

Weather/Emergency School Closing When emergency situations occur, including weather conditions or school building site limitations (i.e. water, heat, electrical), the decision to close schools, start late, or dismiss early will be made by the superintendent or his/her designee. The decision will be based on information provided by the transportation director, buildings and grounds director, emergency service providers, and other area school districts. School closings due to severe weather or other emergency reasons will be broadcast on the following stations: KIKV FM (100.7 FM) WCCO-TV Cool 94.3 Radio KARE-TV KXRA-AM (1490AM) KSTP-TV KXRA-FM (92.3FM) KMSP-TV KXRZ-FM (99.3FM) Announcements will also be posted on the homepage of the district website at www.alexschools.org. The District will also use the Blackboard Connect Instant Alert system to notify families of school closures. Generally, school will be in session if it is felt that the buses can make their routes safely. When weather conditions are questionable, the district’s transportation director will do considerable checking of road conditions. Since the school district is very large, it is impossible to determine the conditions in every sector on any given

day. Safety for students and staff is our first priority. Based on the information the superintendent receives from the transportation supervisor, a decision is made to either close the schools or keep them open. Parents/Guardians Please do not call the schools or broadcast stations. If you don’t hear an announcement, assume school is in session. Even if school is in session, parents are asked to assess their particular situation and determine whether or not it is safe for their child(ren) to attend school on a particular day. Children absent in inclement weather when school is held will be marked absent and treated the same as in any other legitimate absence. The school however, must receive proper parental notice. Please plan with your child what you will do in a school closing emergency. If schools are closed… The decision on cancellation or postponement of co-curricular practices, events, and/or games will be made by the co-curricular director with the approval of the superintendent after consultation with the identified resources and the secondary school principal.

Transportation

Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right. Safety is the first priority for the Transportation Department. Students are expected to follow the same behavioral standards while riding school buses as are expected on school property or at school activities, functions, or events. The School District School Bus Safety Rules are posted on every bus. Enforcement of the rules is necessary for the safety of all passengers. It is the school bus driver’s responsibility to report unacceptable behavior to the Transportation Office and School Office. All school rules are in effect while a student is riding the bus or at the bus stop. Any student who violates the student conduct and/or school bus safety rules is subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the District Discipline Policy and may result in the denial of transportation privileges upon notification of the parent or guardian.

Important Back to School Information Busing information, including bus numbers, bus stop location, pickup times and drop-off times, will be mailed prior to the start of the school year to each student’s home.

Parents who did not receive a transportation letter can call the Transportation Department at (320) 762-3317.
