The main reasons for keeping your child at home are as follows:
If he/she is too sick to be comfortable at school
If he/she will spread a contagious illness/disease to another child
A child should stay at home:
If there has been a any fever in the last 24 hours.
If vomiting and /or diarrhea has occurred within the last 24 hours
If a child has a frequent, persistent cough.
If a child has a persistent pain (stomach, ear, etc.)
If an antibiotic was prescribed, the student must be on the antibiotic for 24 hours or
longer if directed by a physician before returning to school.
If influenza, staph infection, communicable childhood disease , illness or organism has
been medially diagnosed by a physician, please alert your student's teacher.
Remember:
Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever
reducing medications before returning to school. Students must also
be vomiting and diarrhea free for 24 hours before returning to school.
