Dear KES Parent or Guardian: 

Things to know heading into the 2025-2026 school year...

 What do I need to do EVERYDAY when sending my student to school? 

• Ensure your child has a CLEAN water bottle every day. We have water bottle filling stations for them to refill the water bottle when needed.

• Please send a HEALTHY snack (try not to send peanut butter products due to allergies)EVERYDAY!

• Please make sure that when sending your child to school they are well enough to participate in the school day. 

• Please click on the link for tips on when you should keep your child home. If ever in doubt , please call me and we can discuss if your child is well enough to come to school  that day.

• Exclusion from school when sick 

 How you can help?

• Keep your students home if they are sick. Please do not send your student to school after giving students fever-reducing, anti-nausea, or anti-diarrheal medication. 

• Talk to your student about appropriate times to go to the school nurse.

• Send an extra change of clothing in a Ziploc bag, labelled. This may be kept in the classroom.

• If your child is seriously ill or injured, we must have a way of contacting you. It is critical that you report changes in phone numbers to the school.

• Encourage healthy habits to prevent illness:

• Frequent and correct hand washing, when to wash hands

• Send a re-fillable water bottle to school and encourage your student to be well hydrated.

• Make sure your student eats breakfast or that he/she arrives on time to have breakfast in school.

• Ensure your student gets 8-10 hours of sleep

• Encourage students to exercise

• Keep the teacher/nurse informed of any situations that may be going on at home as anxiety is often seen as a stomachache in school-aged children.

Thank you in advance for your help to make your school as healthy as possible. 

Medication reminder:

Students at the elementary level must keep medication in the nurses clinic unless otherwise approved by a physician. We must have the appropriate authorizations on file for your student to be able to receive medications while at school. Medication Authorizations and Action Plans can be found here:

• Medication Authorization (English/Spanish)

• Asthma Action Plan (English/Spanish)

• Seizure Action Plan (English/Spanish)

• Food Allergy Action Plan (English/Spanish)

• Non Food Allergy Action Plan

If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.
