Nurse
The nurse will determine if the child must leave and when they may return to school. If a parent keeps their student home due to illness, please email the name of the student to the nurse so a follow-up call can be made and determined if the child needs a test before returning to school.
The School Nurse can be reached at 845-577-6293.
