      Too sick for School?

    When your child is not feeling well, deciding whether to send them to school or keep them home can be difficult. Here are some simple guidelines to help make that decision a little easier. If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to contact your physician.
     
    If your child has the following symptoms, THEY SHOULD NOT BE AT SCHOOL.
     

    FEVER: temperature of 100 degrees or more
    No return until temperature under 100 degrees without medicine for the last 24 hours
    VOMITING: vomiting two or more times in 24 hours
    DIARRHEA: two or more episodes of diarrhea in the last 24 hours
    EYES: thick mucus or pus draining from the eye or pink eye (conjunctivitis)
    No return until 24 hours after beginning antibiotic eyedrops
    HEAD LICE: may not return to school until they have been treated and seen by the nurse.
    SKIN: unknown rashes or skin lesions (open sores)
    CHICKEN POX: must remain at home until all pox are scabbed over and dry

    **If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, impetigo, conjunctivitis, fifth’s disease, chicken pox or any other communicable condition, please report this to the school nurse as soon as possible.
