Dear Parents:
Attending school on a regular basis is important for each child’s academic and social development. Parents often have trouble deciding whether their child is too ill to go to school. Your child is too sick to go to school and should remain home if any of these symptoms are present:
Has a temperature of 100 degrees or above. When your child has been fever-free for 24 hours (WITHOUT FEVER-REDUCING MEDICATION), is feeling better and has no other symptoms, he/she may return to school
Has pain from earache, headache, sore throat or a recent injury
Has a cough that interferes with the child’s daily routine
Has vomiting or diarrhea
Has green or yellow drainage from the eyes
Has broken out in an unknown/contagious rash
Has a contagious disease such as chickenpox, strep throat, pinkeye, COVID-19, Influenza or other respiratory virus
These symptoms may also result in your child being sent home from school. If your child is sent home from school with a fever, they should be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school.
Thank you!
