Guidelines for Keeping Sick Children Home from School
- Fever: If your child has a temperature of 100 degrees or more, he/she should stay home until they are fever free (without fever reducing medicine) for 24 hours.
- Diarrhea or Vomiting: If your child has diarrhea or vomiting, he/she should stay at home until they are symptom free for 24 hours.
- Bacterial infections (such as Pink Eye or Strep Throat): Your child can return to school 24 hours after the first dose of prescription medication.
If your child is absent due to illness, we ask that you please call us to let us know: 874-8180.
Illnesses and Injuries at School
If your child becomes ill during the school day, you will be called to come pick up your child. It is very important that parents/guardians keep emergency telephone numbers up-to-date so that you or your emergency contact can be reached quickly. Accident report forms are completed for serious injuries that occur on school grounds. Parents/guardians are notified by telephone or not describing the accident, the extent of injury, and the treatment provided. In the event of an accident requiring emergency medical treatment, the school will call 911.
**PLEASE NOTE: If you have a question about whether or not your child should stay home or come to school, please contact the School Nurse at 874-8180, Press #2.
