When to Keep Your Child Home

PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME AND CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR FOR:

  1. FEVER of 100 degrees or higher (by mouth)
  2. VOMITING OR DIARRHEA within the last 24 hours
  3. SORE THROAT 
  4. A RASH with any open or draining sores
  5. RUNNY NOSE (large amounts) along with a headache
  6. HEADACHE with a fever
  7. EAR PAIN

 

If your child has a fever, it is not a good idea to give them medicine like Tylenol and send them to school, because as soon as the medicine wears off, the fever may return and you will be called to pick them up

  • PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME FOR 24 HOURS AFTER THE FEVER ENDS OR THEY HAVE COMPLETED 24 HOURS OF MEDICATION IF PRESCRIBED BY THEIR DOCTOR

If your child is frequently asking to stay home without any clinical signs, if they are falling behind or appear anxious about school, contact your school nurse and your health care provider about your concerns

  • Remind your child to throw away used tissues, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, keep their hands away from their face, and to wash their hands with soap and water

 

PLEASE CALL THE HEALTH OFFICE WITH ANY CONCERNS!
