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.
- COVID-19: Refer to the CFISD LEAD Safely plan for students who are experiencing symptoms, have tested positive, or have been in close contact with an individual who tested positive.
- Fever: A child must remain home with fever equal to or > 100° F and may 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 must stay at home and may 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.
- Rashes: Common infectious diseases with rashes are most contagious in the early stages. A child with a suspicious rash must stay at home and may return to school after a health care provider has made a diagnosis and authorizes the child's return to school in writing or symptoms have resolved completely.
- Head lice (pediculosis): Students who have an active case of live lice may attend school only after treatment which eliminates all live lice. Head lice do not jump or fly and are most commonly contracted by head-to-head touch. Head lice are common in school-aged children, so parents should routinely monitor children for live lice and teach the avoidance of behaviors that spread lice.
If you take your child to a healthcare provider for an evaluation of illness or injury, please be sure to request a written letter stating when your child may return to school and any accommodations required upon his/her return.
A healthy school community requires parents and schools to partner with each other. To prevent/minimize local outbreaks of contagious disease, parents must keep children who have an illness that can be spread from person to person at home, and CFISD school nurses will exclude students with symptoms of a communicable illness from school attendance.

Holmsley’s PBIS Program
PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. This program focuses adult attention on acknowledging positive behaviors in students. It also provides a universal matrix for procedures and expectations throughout the campus. Your students may talk about their P.A.W.S at Holmsley. P.A.W.S. is an acronym that stands for Practice Integrity, Act Responsibly, Winning Attitude and Show Respect. Parents can participate by discussing the importance of integrity, responsibility, having a winning attitude, and showing respect at home.
