The Crankies & Barfies

Island Discovery

A preschool parent recently relayed a story that her three year old daughter was telling.  When asked, "Who goes to the office?" her daughter replied "the crankies and the barfies."  

We are happy to let you know that if your child becomes ill at school and needs to be picked up, the preschool can now offer parents/guardians an opportunity to test children for COVID with this rapid test.  

• Parent/Guardian comes to school to pick up sick child.

• Teaching staff will assist, giving verbal instructions, so you can administer test.

• The child is taken home from school.

• The results are known in 15 minutes.  We will contact you.

Remember that any child running a fever needs to remain at home for 24 hours after the fever has subsided without the use of fever reducing medication.

No child showing symptoms (fever, green/yellow mucus, cough, vomiting...) should be attending school.  Once symptoms have gone, and children are no longer contagious, we love to have them back in our little community.

If your child has been home sick and has not been tested for covid, we can offer the rapid test before school re-entry.  Please plan to wait 15 minutes for the test results before signing your child into school.
