WCA Sickness Policy

It's the time of year when germs are the most prolific and most easily shared.  In the effort to keep our student body as healthy as possible, please review the below policy from our parent and student handbook regarding illness and school attendance:

Both students and staff are asked to stay at home if they have an infectious illness.  Such illnesses include, but are not limited to, the following: influenza, strep throat, chickenpox, conjunctivitis (pink eye), and gastrointestinal or respiratory viruses.  To prevent infecting others, a student should not return to school until he/she has been without fever  (unaided by medication), vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours.  Parents should provide a detailed reason for why the child was absent to the office Upper School or the classroom teacher for Lower School.

Please note that giving a child medication to reduce fevers and make him or her more comfortable is not the same as the child being “fever-free.”

Thank you all for your diligence in helping our campus stay as healthy as possible!

 

As we go through our days, please remember to keep the following WCA families in your prayers. Also, please email Tami Butts (tbutts@wcalions.org) with updated and/or new prayer requests.  It is an honor to pray for each other.

  • Please continue to pray for our art teacher, Jackie Kirsche, as she walks through her cancer journey.  Jackie's recent scans showed that the immunotherapy treatments have not been successful.  She has begun chemotherapy treatments.  Specific prayer requests are that these chemotherapy drugs will be effective against her cancer and that her immune system will be protected during this time of year when germs are so easily shared.  Thank you for remembering Jackie, her husband Kevin and children Berkley (class of 2013), Sierra (class of 2016) and Hadley (class of 2018).
  • Please be in prayer for WCA parent, Jeannie Shannon, (Alex - Class of 2018, Abi - 11th and Cole - 3rd) as she is treated for ongoing cardiac issues.  Jeannie has been out of the hospital now for 5 weeks and is gaining strength.  Pray that she continues to gain strength without relapse.
  • Please be in continued prayer for Kim Hardwick, WCA teacher, who has undergone treatment for recurrent melanoma.  Kim had scans this week and all results were clear, no sign of disease.  This is a huge praise and answer to prayers!  Thank you for remembering her husband, Steve and their children (Ben - Class of 2018, Anna - 11th, Cary - 8th and Ella - 6th) during this time. Kim has set up a caring bridge site where she can share information about her journey.

Prayer requests are included here at the request, or with the permission of the family.
