At Holy Trinity School, the well-being of our students is a top priority. The Health Office is here to support the physical, emotional, and medical needs of our students throughout the school day. We work in close partnership with families to promote a safe and healthy environment rooted in care, attentiveness, and the Jesuit value of cura personalis—care for the whole person.

Health Office Policies

  • A child must be fever-free (without taking Tylenol or other fever reducing medication) for 24 hours before returning to school.

  • Please keep your child at home for 24 hours after the last episode of diarrhea or vomiting due to illness.

  • Parents are expected to contact the health coordinator when their child has a contagious disease or condition: head lice, ringworm, strep, scarlet fever, pin worms, mononucleosis, impetigo. A note will then be sent home to the child’s class alerting parents.

  • If a student is hospitalized or is seen in the ER and requires additional support at school, this information (report, physician orders/plans, medications, etc.) should be communicated directly to the health coordinator.

DC law allows a parent/guardian to opt-out of this vaccine by signing a form approved by the DC Department of Health. A new opt-out form must be signed and submitted to the school at the beginning of each school year for those students making use of this option.
