Guidelines for Keeping Sick Children Home from School
A sick child who is unable to participate in school in a meaningful way should be kept home to rest and recover until symptoms resolve. Keeping a sick child home also protects other children, school staff, and visiting community members from contracting an illness that can be spread from person to person. Please be aware of the following guidelines for school attendance.
- Fever: A child should remain home with fever greater than 100° F and should only return after he/she has been fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Motrin.
- Diarrhea/Vomiting: A child with diarrhea and/or vomiting should stay at home and return to school only after being symptom free for 24 hours.
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Following a diagnosis of pink eye, a child may return to school 24 hours after the first dose of prescribed medication has been administered.
If you take your child to a healthcare provider for an illness, please be sure to request a written letter stating when your child may return to school.
November’s Core Value
Gratitude: Letting others know you see how they’ve helped you. During the week of Thanksgiving, remember to give thanks for all that you have. If you can, give to others who are less fortunate. A great way to do so is to donate to Lee’s donation drive. We will be collecting donations until Friday, November 1st. All donated items will go to the Cy-Fair pantry, which helps families in the Cy-Fair area.
