Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the thin membrane that covers the eyeball and lines the eyelid. The inflammation may be caused by bacteria, or a virus or by allergic, chemical or physical factors. When conjunctivitis is caused by a bacterial or viral infection that results in discharge from the eye(s), students may be excluded from school until their health care provider has examined them and approved readmission to school. Please contact the school nurse to report, or for more information regarding conjunctivitis.
To prevent the spread of conjunctivitis:
Wash hands often
Keep hands away from eyes
Do not share eye drops, tissues, washcloths etc.
Do not use other people's cosmetics
