Sick Policy
Sick Policy
Families assist us in maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all our Children by keeping sick Children at home. The purpose of our sick child policy is to:
- Reduce the spread of illness from a sick Child to other Children and members of School staff.
- Promote complete recuperation of the sick Child.
- Prevent the constant spread of cold, flu and diarrhea and other communicable diseases that are common among small children.
Children who become ill at school will be made comfortable and families will be notified to pick them up within one hour. Families must keep sick children at home until they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours* if they display any of the following:
- Fever of 100.4 degrees or more. Children must be free of fever for at least 24 hours, unassisted by fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Sore Throat
- Skin Rash
- Head Lice
- Heavy nasal discharge requiring frequent wiping every 3-5 minutes
- Persistent, non-productive or barking cough
- Fussy, cranky behavior unlike the Child
- Symptoms of communicable disease such as pink eye, measles, chicken pox, mumps, or strep throat
