WELCOME TO HUDDLESTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
All new students are required to have a valid Georgia Certificate of Immunization (3231 form) and a Georgia Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental, and Nutrition (3300 form). These two health forms need to be turned in to the school nurse within 30 days of registration. Please call the school if you have any questions.

STUDENT ILLNESS/INJURY
The main reasons for keeping your student home from school are he/she is too sick to participate comfortably at school or might spread a contagious disease to other students. If your student has been diagnosed with a contagious disease, please contact the clinic so other student’s parents and school staff may be alerted of the symptoms.

Reasons Your Child will be Sent Home from School
  1. Fever >100.4 degrees F or 38 degrees Celsius* - Student should stay home until there is NO FEVER for 24 hours WITHOUT MEDICATION. Call your doctor if the fever is with pain, rash, weakness, vomiting or diarrhea.
    (*Based on CDC Recommendations)
  2. Vomiting or Diarrhea - Student should stay home with ONE event of vomiting or watery diarrhea. Call your doctor if vomiting or diarrhea continues or with fever, rash, or weakness.
  3. Drainage from a wound, rash, eyes or nose - Student should stay home with drainage from a wound, rash, or eyes. Call your doctor for treatment.
  4. Head Lice or Scabies - Student should stay home until after treatment is complete and no lice or nits. Contact the health department or your doctor for treatment. The student must be cleared by the Clinic to return to school.
  5. Unexplained Rash - Student should stay home with an unexplained rash. Call your doctor for treatment.
Your student may not return to school until they have been fever-free and symptom-free for ONE FULL school day.
(i.e. If your child goes home sick anytime during the school day on Monday, your child can not return to school until Wednesday.). When there is doubt in your mind about sending your student to school, consult your doctor. Your school nurse or principal may ask for a “Release to Return to School” from your doctor before returning to school. Please make sure we know how to reach you during the day. Please check Infinite Campus to update telephone numbers.
