Please do not send your child to school or dorm when they are sick.

Read our guidelines to determine when your child should stay home from the school or dorm.
Home is the best place for a child who is ill. If your child is sick, with a diagnosed, communicable disease, please notify the school as soon as possible.

SLEEP TIPS

Here are some important things you can do to ensure that your child gets enough sleep:

• Set a regular time for bed each night and stick to it.
• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine, such as giving your child a warm bath or reading him or her a story.
• Make after-dinner playtime a relaxing time. Too much activity close to bedtime can keep children awake.
• Avoid feeding children big meals close to bedtime.
• Avoid giving children anything with caffeine less than six hours before bedtime.
• Set the bedroom temperature so that it's comfortable – not too warm and not too cold.
• Make sure the bedroom is dark. If necessary, use a small nightlight.
• Keep the noise level low.
