Here is a copy of the illness policy I use. You are more than welcome to use it if you would like.
Thanks so much for the policy and I'm definitely going to implement this and email out a new policy today to be signed and returned Monday.
Just curious but would you just say in the email "Here is the new policy please sign and return by..." or would you add a little notice such as "I understand this policy may be a bit strict and I totally support any family's choice to seek alternate care if they disagree. The reason for the change is solely to keep children healthy."
