With the increased time spent indoors during cold weather, we tend to see more illnesses. To help make the season more enjoyable for all, if your child is not feeling well, please keep them home for the following:* If the student has had a fever of 100 degrees or more, the student should stay home for 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal without medication.
* If the student has vomited or had diarrhea, he/she should stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
* If the student has any rash that may be disease-related or the cause is unknown, check with your health care provider before sending him/her to school.
* If the student has open/draining skin sores, or inflamed/draining eyes or ears the student should stay home until seen by your health care provider.
For information on additional childhood conditions, please check "Is My Child Ill?" on the Health Services website.
Thank you,
Health Services
