Lesson 5

Animal bites or any contact with wild animals have to be reported to the local animal control or health department immediately. There are certain signs and symptoms to report. Cases of chicken pox should also be reported. Teachers should report signs and symptoms of certain diseases to the school nurse and a doctor should then be notified. There are different types of diseases that should  be reported. In the Arizona Communicable Disease Flip-chart it gives a list of which diseases should be reported. Teachers and caregivers need to review this, so they know when to report it.
