• Lower & Middle School: Anelisa Cristobal at anelisa_cristobal@aw.org 
• Upper Schools: Lisa Bazzanella at lisa_bazzanella@aw.org
• School Nurse: Paula Coumou at paula_coumou@aw.org  for guidance or questions

• Students should not be given medications to reduce a fever, such as Tylenol/Ibuprofen before coming to school
• Illnesses other than symptoms of COVID-19: Ensure your student has fully recovered before returning to school. 
• Have antibiotics been prescribed? Oral, topical,eye drops, ear drops? Students should be on antibiotics for a full 24 hours before returning to school.
• Is there a post viral cough? Occasionally an irritating cough can occur after an illness has resolved. Or a cough can occur with an allergy reaction. Is it controllable and does your student understand how to wear a mask and cough into the elbow? It is advisable to have your student stay home until the cough is controlled. 
• Is there a new rash? A rash is a change of the skin which affects color, appearance or texture. It may be on one part of the body or affect all of the skin. A rash can have many different causes. It can be a sign of illness. Use caution when sending your student to school with a rash. It would be ideal to get the rash looked at by a healthcare provider, or keep your student home for a day or so to see if the rash worsens or gets better. If your student presents to the nurse with an unexplained rash he or she will be sent home.
• Is there pink or red eyes unexplained by allergies? Please keep your student home until symptoms resolve 
• Is there a runny nose or congestion associated with a common cold? Ensure your student stays home if they have cold symptoms. It is difficult to manage a runny or congested nose at school when wearing a face mask. Ensure your student has recovered, or can easily self care and manage their symptoms before coming back to school.
• Is your student listless or fatigued? It requires a good deal of energy and concentration to navigate a day of school. Also, the more rundown a student becomes, the more difficult it can become for the immune system to combat illness. Consider your student’s ability to manage the day and his/her overall stamina and well-being. Would a day at home provide the rest necessary to beat or prevent illness? 
• Infectious Health Conditions: Please inform the School Nurse if your student gets medically diagnosed with an infectious condition. This would include, but not limited to: Influenza, COVID-19, Strep Throat, Varicella, Measles, Meningitis, Whooping Cough, Pink Eye. Skin Conditions such as MRSA, Impetigo, Ringworm, Scabies.

This helps us be proactive in preventing the spread of lice to others.If live lice are found on a student, we will ask that you pick up your student and get them treatment. Students can come to school after 1 lice treatment. Please bring your student to the School Nurse to get checked after treatment and before starting class. It is parental responsibility to ensure treatment and eradication of lice.
• Flu (Influenza): Inform the School Nurse if your student gets a medical diagnosis of Influenza. Common cold symptoms are similar, as are some COVID-19 symptoms. Stomach flu is not Influenza. Please provide a note from the doctor stating the diagnosis and return to school date. Most cases of flu require a 7 - 10 day absence from school. AWS requires your student to be no longer contagious (10 days minimum if no doctor’s note to say otherwise, after the start of flu symptoms) and well enough to manage a school day.
• Molluscum Contagiosum: Student to wear uniform clothing that covers all visible bumps while in school. Band Aids or other dressings can be used to cover weeping bumps (except on the face). During swim: students must wear swimwear that covers bumps or cover the bumps with waterproof bandages. Students with open weeping bumps that cannot be covered by a waterproof bandage will not be allowed in the pool on that given day.
• Upon returning to school following an absence due to any illness or isolation: Students must be checked at the nurse’s office immediately on arrival at school before going to class. Students who arrive with a fever, or have taken medication to reduce a fever will not be given access to classrooms and will be sent home.
