Health & Wellness Policy
Our Policy
The health and safety of our students will always be the highest of priorities for us, and we thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. Our Health & Wellness policy is reviewed frequently and updated at lifepreparatory.school.
Contagious Illnesses
If you or someone in your household is experiencing flu or flu-like symptoms, we recommend that you keep your child home until they are no longer showing signs of illness. If your child has a fever of 99.5 or higher, per our policy, you are required to keep your child home until they are fever free for a minimum of 24 hours.
Head Lice
If your child is confirmed to have lice, your child is not permitted to return to school until 24hrs after their treatment to confirm that all the lice have been killed and removed from your child's scalp.
If your child is sent home or kept home your child’s absence will be excused with either a Physician's note or a written parent note. Our teachers will work diligently with any students who may have to miss school due to illness so that they do not fall behind in their work. We rely greatly on the discretion of parents to make the right decision regarding their child’s health & safety. Thank you for your cooperation with all of our policies. If you have any questions regarding our policies, please contact our front office at (352) 488-8850 or email our principal directly at gbecerril@lifepreparatory.school.
Medical Confidentiality
We respect the privacy of our teachers & staff, for this reason, the decision for any staff member or teacher to receive the Covid-19 vaccination is left up to the individual staff member. This information is not required to be reported to our administrative staff and will not be given out if requested by parents of students.
Safety & Security
If it is important to you, it is certainly important to us, and at Life Preparatory School, the safety and security of each person if our highest priority. On our campus building, in addition to full property lighting and surveillance cameras, we also have a secure entry at every level, gated fencing, a fully enclosed playground and outdoor lunch area, on-site supervision, and a secure check-in system for all students, and adults entering the building. No child will ever be left unattended at any time, during school hours, or in our before and after student care programs. We have staff on each campus who are permitted to carry and have gone through the proper trainings. The decision for any staff member to carry is left up the individual staff member. This information is confidential and will not be given out if requested by parents of students.
Classrooms
Each classroom has been designed with great detail, from colors to traffic flow, the layout of desks and tables, and much more. Each well-lit classroom fosters an environment of learning in every child. Smaller class settings averaging between 12 -35 students per classroom will assist our teachers, allowing them to have adequate time with each child during times of individual learning. We also have teaching assistants in classrooms that exceed 20 or more students.
Playground
Our 6.4-acre property allows each child to have ample play area while under supervision. Our playground is located in a secure fenced in area for multiple outdoor breaks per day.
