At ISB, we want all our students to be fit and healthy. An important part of this is limiting spread of diseases.
If your child is unwell please do NOT send them to school especially if they have had a fever, vomiting or severe diarrhea in the last 24 hours (if your child has occasional diarrhea they may return to school as long as there is no fever or vomiting). If your child has required medication to relieve a fever in the past 24 hours please do not send them to school. Please contact the ES/MS/HS office to inform them of your child’s absence.
If your child has a fever over 38°C or 100.4°F, diarrhea, vomiting, productive cough, rash of suspicious etiology or any other signs/symptoms of an infectious disease you will be called to collect your child from the Health Clinic.
If your child is diagnosed with a communicable disease the School Health Clinic must be notified as soon as possible (nurse@isb.ac.th). On return to school you must present a medical certificate to the School Health Clinic from a registered Medical Practitioner stating your child no longer infectious PRIOR to returning to class.
In the Health Clinic we keep records of any infectious diseases that students have so we can notify the school community if we notice a disease is spreading in the school.
Childhood infectious diseases are an unfortunate part of life. We rely on families being responsible when their child is unwell to limit the spread to others. For certain illnesses we are required under Thai law to close classes/grades if we get too many cases.
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).
