Illness Policy
Dear Parents,
In an effort to keep our staff and students healthy, we ask that parents/guardians keep students at home if they are running a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher, have diarrhea or vomiting. Students need to be fever-free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school. If a student is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea we ask that students do not return until 36 hours after symptoms have ended. Please also keep students at home if they are exhibiting flu-like symptoms. A sick note will be required within 3 days upon returning to school for any absence(s).
Please understand that this is a mandate of the Uwharrie Charter Academy Schools Central Office and the Randolph County Health Department.
