When Your Child is Sick

Children exhibiting signs of sickness should be kept at home for at least 24 hours after last signs have disappeared. Children exhibiting signs of illness, fever, runny noses, vomiting, diarrhea and irritability will be presumed sick. Parents are required to pick the child up as soon as possible.

Medication Policy

We will only administer physician-prescribed medication. A doctor-prescribed label with correct dosage, original container must accompany all medication. We cannot administer over-the-counter medications. If medication needs to be administered, please complete “Medication Permission Slip”. Please do not send any medication in your child’s lunch box or backpack or you’ll be asked to pick it up immediately.

Bringing Toys and Videos

SCCC discourages children to bring any toys, videos, electronics and any other materials from home. This will avoid any risk of conflict or broken items. SCCC is not responsible for any lost or broken items.

Lunches

With all the activities we do, your child’s body will need all the energy it can get. Please avoid any sugary items. Please send your child with a snack, a nutritious lunch and a water bottle each day.
