When do I keep my child home sick from school?
Dear Families,
Regular school attendance is essential for your child's academic progress and social development. Prioritizing consistent attendance helps students stay on track with learning and build strong relationships with peers and teachers.
However, we also prioritize the health of our school community. If your child is feeling unwell or has a fever, please keep them home. Following these health guidelines from the NJ Department of Health and the CDC, students should remain at home for at least 24 hours after their fever has ended without medication. This helps prevent the spread of illness and ensures your child can return to school ready to learn.
Thank you for your support in fostering both your child's education and well-being.
Pick Up Patrol Procedures
Pick Up Patrol is an app that allows you to make changes to your child’s dismissal or mark them tardy or absent.
All dismissal changes must be made no later than 2:30 pm
We do not allow students to be picked up early after 3:00pm
You will receive an email with sign up instructions.
Parents CANNOT set the default plan. You must email Sheila Staszak so she can do this!
If you need help, contact Sheila Staszak at sheila.staszak@motsd.org or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net.
