NOTE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE:
Over the past week we have had several cases of conjunctivitis ("pink-eye") here at SACS, with the majority of them being in the elementary school. Because "pink-eye" is highly contagious, school Communicable Disease policy and school procedure have always been to send students home if it is even suspected in a student.
Common symptoms of conjunctivitis include a pink/red color to the white part of the eye, crusting and drainage, itching and burning. Conjunctivitis usually begins in one eye and can spread rapidly to the other.
One important aspect of treatment is preventing transmission. Proper handwashing and completing the course of treatment are the best ways to prevent the spread of conjunctivitis.
Should your child begin to have pink/red irritated eyes, crusting or drainage, and complain of itching or burning, please keep your child home from school and consult your medical provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Treatment protocol is still 48 hours on treatment before returning to school to reduce the incidence and spread of conjunctivitis. Please feel free to call should you have any questions. Thank you.
