Spring has Sprung!... and so have Spring Allergies!

We're looking forward to the budding trees and blooming flowers, but some of us suffer from seasonal allergies! Symptoms include: itchy eyes, scratchy throat, cough, runny nose or congestion, and watery eyes. It could be hard to determine when to keep your child home. Follow these guidelines:

Keep your child home if he/she does not feel well enough to participate in normal activities, even if fever-free.
Keep your child home until fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication (fever is defined 100.4 and above).
If nausea/vomiting- keep your child home until at least 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting.
If your child has strep throat- keep your child home until at least 12 hours have passed since the start of antibiotic treatment and fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication and feeling well enough to participate in normal activities.
If your child is Covid-19 positive, keep home and call your school nurse for the latest guidelines.
When reporting an absence, please report symptoms and any official diagnoses.
Obtain a doctor's note if your child is sick for 3 or more days.
Remind your child about practicing good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette
