  • Health Information 

  • Each student must have health information on file, which is updated annually and/or if there are any changes. This information helps to identify any significant student health problems as well as provides your physician’s name and contact information. It is imperative that the school staff be informed of any significant changes in your student’s health in order to ensure appropriate care as needed. Please notify the school immediately if there are any changes during the year.

     It is required that any student diagnosed with Asthma, Severe Allergies, or Seizures has an Action Plan on file to provide safe care when at school. This action plan needs to be created with you and your physician, as well as in collaboration with our nurse. All Action Plans are valid for the school year. You may contact our nurses at nurse@turningpointeaf.org should you have any questions, and the Health Action Plan templates are also available to print or download on the website.

  • Health and Communicable Disease

  • HEALTH

    School attendance is important; however, your student may need to stay home because he/she is too sick to effectively learn at school and/or he/she might spread a contagious illness to other students. While not all illnesses require exclusion, there are instances when students may be sent home from school. School staff will notify parents/guardians when a student needs to be picked up from school.

    Parents are asked to keep their students home OR students will be sent home if an illness or injury results in the following:

    • Prevents the student from participating comfortably in academics or activities
    • Results in needed care that is greater than school personnel can provide considering the health and safety of your child and other students
    • Poses a risk of spread of diseases to others

    Please keep your student home in the following situations. If a student is already at school and shows any of the following signs, he/she will be sent home:

    • Fever
    • Vomiting
    • Persistent diarrhea
    • Rash associated with fever
    • Sore throat
    • Mouth sores
    • Eye infections (conjunctivitis or pink eye)
    • Difficulty breathing
    • Drastic change in baseline behavior

    In the event that your student displays any of the above symptoms, please keep them home from school. Thank you for your assistance.

    ***Students may return to school once they are symptom-free for 24 hours. Absences due to illness that last 3 or more days, need a release from a physician to return to school.***

    COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
    Please report to the school any communicable diseases including strep throat, chicken pox, mumps, pertussis, measles, impetigo, conjunctivitis, and head lice, as soon as the diagnosis is complete. Notice of potential exposure to these diseases will be sent home when the first case appears in the school. Please be assured that your student’s name will not be released on the notice.

Together, if we embrace these differences and utilize all knowledge about the student, we can improve outcomes.

  • Peanut and Tree Nut Free Building

  • To ensure the safety and wellness of all students, we are a peanut and tree nut free school. Life-threatening allergic reactions that require medical attention can occur to individuals with peanut and tree nut allergies. We ask that you assist us in providing a safe school environment by helping us eliminate potential exposure to peanuts and tree nuts and avoid life-threatening allergic reactions.

    Please complete the bottom portion to acknowledge that you are aware that Turning Pointe Autism Foundation is a peanut and tree nut free campus. We thank you for your cooperation.

  • In October 2006, the FDA began identifying coconut as a tree nut. As a result, we are discouraging students and staff from consuming or using anything containing coconut.

    Remember to read food labels and ask questions about ingredients before eating food that you have not prepared yourself.
