To help us limit the spread of infectious diseases in the school we require any student who is diagnosed with a infectious disease (such as Hand, Foot and Mouth disease, Influenza, Chicken Pox, Salmonella etc) to notify the school as soon as possible (by email to their teacher and nurse@isb.ac.th). When they are better they need to present a medical certificate to the ISB Health Clinic PRIOR to going to class. This certificate must state the date the student is fit to return to school and will not be contagious to others in a normal school environment. When you take your child to see their doctor please make sure you get the certificate otherwise you may need to make another appointment. Students will be asked to come to the clinic if they have not handed in the certificate and may be sent home.
If your child has not been unwell enough to have needed to see a doctor or has not been diagnosed with a infectious disease a certificate is not required. Any student who has had a fever in the preceding 24 hours or has had fever reducing medication (for example ibuprofen or paracetamol/acetaminophen) should not come to school.
The reason we ask for this is that with certain infectious diseases you may still be able to infect others despite not having had a fever for the preceding 24 hours.
We appreciate all parents helping to minimise the risk of disease outbreaks in our school community.
ISB is committed to your child’s overall development, both educationally and health related. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your healthcare provider or the ISB Health Clinic (nurse@isb.ac.th).
