Health Guidance for Maine School Children
Avoid keeping children at home unless they are too sick to participate in regular activities. If your child has a compromised immune system or is at high risk for complications from common illnesses, please talk to your school (school nurse if available) about developing a plan with you and your child's health-care provider to keep your child healthy and safe while attending school.
Some of the normal conditions children may experience, but don't usually require them to stay home from school might include:
- a mild cold with runny nose or occasional cough
- a mild upset stomach with no other complications
- a mild rash with no other symptoms
- treated head lice
- mild eye irritation without fever
- pain or eyelid redness
- menstrual cramps and/or other symptoms
- mild anxiety or sadness
- fever has gone away and they are not taking fever reducing medicine
If you are worried that your child may be suffering from anxiety, talk with your teacher, the school nurse, social worker or other school staff and/or the child's health care provider to discuss the challenge and identify what support or intervention might help your child stay in school.
