RECOGNIZING + POLICY ON COMMUNICABLE

Diseases

Communicable diseases are diseases that are transmitted from one individual to another and easily spread among children. Common communicable diseases among students are head lice/nits, pink eye, ringworm, and chickenpox. You will be contacted immediately in the event your participant shows signs or symptoms of communicable disease. A doctor’s note may be required for the participant to resume participation.

If staff suspect a child has contracted head lice, an immediate call for pick up will be placed to the parent/guardian to treat the infected child and protect all other children, staff, and parents/guardians. Infected children will be separated until pick up.

• In the event nits/head lice are found among your participant, a parent/guardian must pick up within one hour of the notification.

• The Site Supervisor will notify all parents/guardians of all head lice/nits cases when found or reported. CCPR staff will never release the name of the affected participant.
