Please do not block driveways, or make U-turns.

You will be given a family placard for each parent/guardian’s car window. You must have these placards in place to pick up your child in the carline. If you do not have your placard, you must park, walk in, and physically check your child out at the front desk.

Unwell students need to stay at home to prevent exposure to other students and adults at ESN. Our illness policy is based on the Model Health Care Policies developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. If your student has any of the below symptoms, your student should remain home. If your student becomes sick during the day, you'll be called to pick them up.  

• Fever of 100.4 or above (axillary or temporal).

• Persistent cough, with or without fever.

• Vomiting.

• Diarrhea.

• Rash, unless a physician has determined it is not a communicable disease.

• Pink eye until the student has been on antibiotics for 24 hours.

• Impetigo until 24 hours after treatment.

• Strep Throat until 24 hours after treatment.

• Head Lice until after treatment and all nits are removed. Must have proof of lice treatment in order to return.

In order to assure your student's comfort and reduce risk of contagion, we ask that sick students be picked up as soon as possible. Students must remain home for 24 hours without the above symptoms before returning to school. In the case of a suspected or confirmed contagious disease, rash, or continuing symptoms, a doctor's note is required before your student is permitted to return to school. We will always err on the side of caution and call you when anything unusual is detected. Students may return to school when: 

• They are free of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea for a full 24 hours (without the aid of medications). 

• They have been treated with an antibiotic for a full 24 hours. 

• They are able to participate comfortably in all usual school activities,  including outdoor time. 

• A health-care provider signs a note stating that the student's condition is not contagious.
