Do I need to call the school nurse every time my child is sick?

No, but… please call the school nurse if your child has any communicable illness, including chicken pox, flu, Fifth’s disease, pink eye, strep throat, mononucleosis, impetigo, and lice.  If there are any changes in your child’s health, surgery, broken bones, stitches, hospitalizations, or prolonged absence, please notify the school nurse.
