When to Keep Your Child Home from School
Guidance for when to keep your child home from school and when itβs okay to send them to school. If your child requires medication to treat any of their symptoms, please complete the appropriate medication forms found at https://www.asdk12.org/Page/7810
Fever β A fever is a warning that the body is fighting an infection that could easily spread to others. A child with a temperature of 100.4 F should not be sent to school; your child should stay home until they are fever free without the use of fever-reducing medications like Tylenol.
Colds β Colds are more difficult to assess. A slightly runny nose and occasional dry cough is not enough to keep your child home. However, if your childβs nose runs constantly and/or the cough is frequent and wet, or your child is experiencing nausea or is too tired and uncomfortable to function at school it would be best to keep the child home for a day or two.
Cough β If your child has a severe cough, rapid and/or difficulty breathing, wheezing, or the cough is accompanied by a sore throat or not feeling well, the child should stay home from school.
Diarrhea β Diarrhea is defined as an unusual amount of very liquid stools compared to the childβs normal pattern. Children should stay home until able to participate normally at school.
Ears β If your child has pain, swelling, drainage or difficulty hearing, please see your healthcare provider. Untreated ear infections can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Eyes β If your child has red, itchy eyes with a clear, yellow or green drainage from the eye, it may be contagious and a sign of bacterial conjunctivitis (pinkeye). A child with pinkeye can attend school as long as they are able to keep from touching their eyes and show that they can properly wash hands after contact with the infected eye.
Rash β A rash might be the first sign of an illness. If your child has a rash with a fever and behavioral changes, or a rash that is oozing/open wound, or is tender with the rash worsening, your child should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Sore Throat β If your child has a sore throat, have the child gargle with warm salt water. If child behavior is normal and the child ate breakfast, itβs probably safe to send your child to school. If your child has difficulty swallowing, or you notice saliva building up in your childβs mouth because your child canβt swallow, please keep your child home. If you notice white spots in the back of the throat please contact your doctor as this could be a sign of an infection.
Vomiting / Nausea β Please keep your child home if your child has vomited more than 2 times in 24 hours, has a fever or if they look or act ill.
