In general, children are too sick to come to school when:

• They are contagious.

• Their symptoms are serious enough to prevent them from focusing on the tasks they need to do there.

Use the checklist below to determine whether to keep your child home from school.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please keep your child home from school and consider seeking medical attention. Your child could have a serious or contagious illness. Keep your child home until they have been symptom free for at least 24 hours or until a doctor indicates that they can return to school. If put on an antibiotic, students need to be on antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school.

If children have a cold, headache, or stomach ache that is not accompanied by fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, they can probably come to school.

If a child has a rash, it could be contagious. Please seek medical advice before allowing your child to come to school.

Earaches are not contagious. Children can come to school as long as they can concentrate on their work.

If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse.
