2013 Nurse’s Note
The cold and flu season is upon us. If you haven’t already done so, please
consider getting your flu shot to protect yourself and those around you. Frequent hand washing is also a strong
defense in preventing illness. If your
child does become ill, please remember the following before sending them to
school:
- 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.
