This is a new addition to our school website that is meant to help keep parents informed about current health issues that affect their children at school. This past school year brought much concern about “swine flu” H1N1. We are thankful that Flint Hill was not affected. Click on the following link to learn the most recent information from the CDC:

COLDS & SICKNESS POLICY

Please do not send students to school that are ill (fever of 99.5 or higher, chills, throwing up, etc). If medication is required to bring down a fever the child should stay home. They are sick. Parents are expected to pick their child up from school if they have a fever, are vomiting, are complaining of severe headaches or stomach aches, or present other signs of illiness. Students with a communicable disease are inelligable to attend school.

LICE POLICY

Parents must notify the school office if they become aware of lice in their child’s hair. No student is to attend school with lice or nits on their scalp or in their hair. If lice are discovered, administer anti-lice treatments and follow perscription instructions on the anti-lice kit. Be sure that all lice and nits are completely gone for 24 hours before bringing your child back to school. Returning students must be examined by the administration before being admitted back to class.

On June 2, 2009, we received word from Mr. Bob Hodges that the commission has granted us full seven year accreditation status. This recognition will make transfer between schools and going to college easier for our students. Thank you to all who worked long hours to demonstrate our  excellence in education status.
