Too Sick for School?
Flu Season is upon us. We want every student to be in school but if they are symptomatic, the Health Department guidelines require you to keep your child home. Students must be vomit- and fever-free (under 100.4 without use of medication) for 24 hours before returning to school.
PREVENTION: Wash your hands thoroughly. Use separate personal items around your home. Keep your distance. Disinfect hard surfaces.
