KEEPING STUDENTS HOME FROM SCHOOL DUE TO ILLNESS
It can be difficult to decide when and how long to keep an ill child home from school. The timing of the absence is often important in order to decrease the spread of disease to others and to prevent your child from acquiring any other illness while his /her resistance is lowered.
- If your child has a fever, is vomiting or has diarrhea they must stay home until they no longer have the symptom for 24 hours without the use of medication.
Please contact our School Nurse, Mrs. Ferron at 686-1743 if you have any questions.
