Children who come to school sick are not productive learners and are often miserable all day. More importantly, they can spread the illness to their classmates and teachers. Remember, frequent hand washing is one of the best ways to slow the spread of germs.
Please do not bring your child to school if they have symptoms such as a temperature over 100.4°F, a recent onset of a cough, shortness of breath, headache, body aches, chills, diarrhea, vomiting, and recent onset or persistent loss of taste or smell.
Students with the following symptoms should remain home:
A temperature of 100.4 or higher within the past 24 hours
Vomiting the night before or the morning of the school day
Diarrhea, stomach pain/cramping.
Frequent persistent cough throughout the day or night.
Students may return if:
Your child is fever free for a continuous 24 hours without medication such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen
They are diagnosed with a contagious illness and have not received medication for at least 24 hours, or until the doctor has informed you that the child is no longer contagious (doctor signed notice required)
They have been without diarrhea or vomiting for at least 24 hours
