Parents’ cooperation is essential to prevent contagious diseases in school. To this end, please respect these few simple rules:

– A child with fever (temperature above 38 °) will be kept at home

– A child who vomited during the night will be able to come to school only if you have made sure that his condition allows it (no fever, no nausea).

– For certain illnesses, a medical certificate specifying that the pupil is no longer contagious, is required before returning to school (foot, hand and mouth, for example)

Health problem during school time

– The nurse will ask you to come pick up the student if she judges that his state of health requires exclusion from school and / or rest at home (flu syndrome, gastroenteritis, etc.), medical advice and treatment, without notion of immediate emergency,

– The nurse considers that the student’s condition requires emergency care in a specialized environment, she will call the ambulance which will decide on the most appropriate care service, the head of the school or the nurse. will inform you as soon as possible.

One-off medical treatment

Any medical treatment should as far as possible be administered at home by the parents. However, if your child requires medical treatment during school hours, the procedure is as follows:

– Parents must provide a recent prescription, which will include the name of the health facility, the name of the prescribing doctor as well as the dosage and duration of treatment.

Once the procedure is in place, the children will go to the infirmary to receive their treatment at the times indicated on the medical prescription.

Sports exemption

– One-off incapacity: a word from the parents constitutes a gracious and occasional request which cannot under any circumstances cover several sessions. It is presented to teachers using the liaison notebook previously signed by the infirmary and school life. It does not exempt the student from observing / attending the session and does not allow him to leave the establishment.

– Temporary incapacity for medical reasons: Certificate of the doctor who suspends the total or partial physical activity of the student for one or more sessions. It must be presented to the infirmary with the liaison booklet.

Parents’
declaration of absence

If both parents are absent from Shanghai at the same time, they must, before departure, notify school life and the infirmary by email, attaching the completed document ”Parents Absence from Shanghai”.
