Nurse's Office

Welcome to the 24-25 School Year at VES!

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the important information regarding student illness, health and wellness and helpful resources.

Illness Related Absences

If your student is not feeling well, please do not send them to school. All absences must be reported to the school by phone, either through the Front Office or the School Nurse. You may communicate the absence to your child's teacher as well, but direct communication to the nurse is required.

**Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
