If Your Child is Sick

To protect the health of your child, family, friends, teachers, and staff it is important to know when to keep your child at home.

Please keep your child at home if your child exhibits any of the following:

• Fever (greater than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue and body aches
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Rash
• Draining eyes (pus, excessive redness, itching, burning or watery)
• Open Sores (that are not healing)

A student with a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher should not attend school.  Please do not send your child to school unless he/she has been without a fever for 24 hours.

Students must be kept home if vomiting or diarrhea has occurred during the night or in the morning before school. Students with any rash, open sores, or draining eyes must be evaluated by their physician before returning to school. Many of these illnesses may be viral or bacterial infections or flu requiring medical treatment .
