Illness/Injuries

 I am available to provide care and assistance for any accidents, illnesses or injuries that occur during the school day. Accidents an/or injuries that occur at home and are not related to school arrival or departure should be evaluated by your child's physician or healthcare provider. In the event of illness or injury to your child, where treatment other than first aid is required, I will try to notify you by telephone.  If I am unable to reach you, I will call whomever you have designated on your child's EMERGENCY CARD. Parents should make arrangements with a relative, friend or neighbor in the event that you cannot be reached.  This should be noted in the space provided on the card.  Depending on the severity of the problem, your child's physician or the school doctor may be called in your absence.  Please be sure to update this emergency information as changes occur.

WHEN YOUR CHILD IS SICK

If your child is going to be absent from school OR tardy to school, PLEASE call the school nurse at 978-363-2957 as early as possible and preferably before 9:00 a.m. We want to ensure your child arrives to school safely. To that end, if we do not receive a call, you will be called at home. If we are unable to reach you at home, we will then call the work numbers and/or emergency numbers on your child's emergency card.

Please send in a note for the homeroom teacher when your child returns to school after an absence.
