Is My Child Well Enough to Come to School?

• If your child has a fever of 100 degrees or more, they should stay home for 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal and remains normal without fever-reducing medication.
• If your child has vomited or has diarrhea, they should stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
• If your child had any rash that may be disease-related or the cause is unknown, check with your healthcare provider before sending them back to school.

If your child is ill, please call the school to report the illness. If you have questions regarding your child's illness, please call your school nurse at 651-604-3555 or healthcare provider.

• It is OK to come to school if your student has a runny nose or little cough but no fever.

We have had a great start to the school year with our new cell phone policy. Please remind your student that it is expected for all students to secure their phones in the cabinets during each class period.

We have seen a lot more engagement in classes this year. We can't wait to see the successes at the end of the term!

School success goes hand in hand with good attendance. Research shows that consistent attendance at school correlates with student achievement. Therefore, we want to do all we can to ensure children are in school as much as possible. Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time every day is important. Good attendance will help children graduate from high school and do well in college and at work. Our hope is to partner with families to remove barriers so students can be in school as much as possible.

We also know there will be days when your child will miss school, especially if they’re sick. Missing school when you’re sick is OK. In fact, children should stay home when they are sick. The goal is for students to be in school 95% of the time. That means your student would miss 8 days or less for the entire school year.

Here are some things you can do to help:

• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
• Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
• Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomachache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.

Here are some additional reminders regarding attendance:

• If your child has a doctor appointment, please bring them back to school after the appointment if possible.
• Excused absences include, but are not limited to: illness, doctors appointments, religious holidays, family emergency, and funerals.
• Unexcused absences include, but are not limited to: oversleeping, missing the bus, no transportation.
• There are also times students miss school due to family events. Some examples include cultural celebrations, weddings, funerals, graduations, and vacations. Up to five Family Event days will be excused. Day 6+ would be unexcused. Families could choose to take students out of school for family leave, but these days would be unexcused absences.

Thank you for all you do to support getting your child to school each day. Higher attendance equals higher student achievement! Thank you in advance for your support and partnership.
