Important Notice to Parents/Guardians
From the Van Buren/Cass District Health Department

Regarding Student Absences

The Van Buren-Cass District Health Department is working directly with your child's school to
make Van Buren and Cass Counties a healthier place to live. Michigan law requires that schools
report the occurrence of any communicable diseases to the local health department on a weekly
basis. To assist your child's school in reporting communicable diseases to the health department
and preventing disease outbreaks, please be specific when reporting your child's absence.

When calling in for a child, please include the following information:
1. A description of the symptoms of the illness (vomiting, fever, rash, diarrhea, etc.)
2. The type of illness, if known, and who identified the illness

Your cooperation with the school and the Van Buren/Cass District Health Department is greatly
appreciated.
