If your child is ill because of a contagious disease such as the flu, strep throat, COVID, etc., it would be helpful to note the reason for the absence when you call the absentee line.This will help the school take measures to know the extent of the disease and reduce its spread. Students who have a fever (temperatures > 100.4) should be kept home until free of fever for 24 hours without medication. Students who do not feel well should also stay home. When students come to school ill, they not only are not able to participate fully in class, but they may also infect other students with their illness.

Be sure to keep the “Emergency Contact Information” updated so we can reach you if your child is ill or injured.

Loudoun County Public Schools requires a NEW provider/physician order each school year for the medication or specialized care which your child receives at school.  If your child will continue to need medication or specialized health care at school, you and your child’s licensed healthcare provider must complete and sign the proper form(s). Please note that parents may not amend the provider’s order for managing the child’s medical condition. These forms can be found on the Student Health Services website. A new plan must be completed every school year.

Please contact our School Nurse, Ms. Kathy Glazebrook for further questions Email Kathy Glazebrook 

PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING IN ALL MEDICATION - Students are NOT permitted to carry medication unless under physician order on record. 

The required forms are available in the health office at your child’s school or online at Loudoun County Public Schools. Click on the “Families” tab and the forms will be found under Medication at School.  The forms should be returned, along with the appropriate medication, in the original, pharmacy labelled container, the week before school starts to the Loudoun County Public School that your child will be attending.  Please refer to the “Medication at School Guidelines” for further information regarding medication at school.
