ATTENTION PARENTS

There is a confirmed case of chicken pox at Olathe North High School.  Please observe your children for any signs and symptoms and DO NOT send them to school if symptomatic. 
Vaccine is available at the
Johnson County Health Department - 894-2525
and many private providers.
Contact the nurse with any questions you may have.  780-7142.

THIS YEAR - KDHE's instructions regarding Chicken Pox has changed - Any un-immunized student through grade 10 (this vaccine is not yet required for grade 11 and 12) who either shares a class or is in the same sport (e.g. any extracurricular activity) as a student who contracts chicken pox, and the student who contracted chicken pox was at school while contagious, must be excluded from school for 21 days (or if in the same household as in the case of a sibling, 21 days past the last day of new vesicle eruption).  The parents of un-immunized students have the option of vaccinating their student, and if so, immediately readmitting to school.

Your nurse's tip is: Avoid having your child excluded from school
HAVE THEM IMMUNIZED!

• Follow the “Student Pick Up” signs to the North side of the property.
• Make arrangements to pick up your child 15 minutes after school lets out.
• There is NO STOPPING to pick-up or drop-off students on PRAIRIE ST.
• The “faculty parking” lot on Prairie is closed until 3:30 pm.
• The West-side driveway (off Prairie) is one way (to the North) from 7:30-8:30 am and 2:30-3:30 pm.
• Make use of other access points into the North lot-Whitney/Nelson/Kansas City Rd
• Parents who are checking-out their students during the day need to enter at the N 600 doors.
