Is My Child Well Enough
IS MY STUDENT WELL ENOUGH TO GO TO SCHOOL?
Many students and parents/guardians are frequently concerned about when students should stay home or attend school. The following information is intended to help with this decision.
If the student:
- Has a fever of 100° degrees or more, the student should stay home for 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal without fever reducing medication.
- Has vomited or has had diarrhea, the student should stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
- Has a rash that may be disease related or the cause is unknown, check with health care provider before sending student to school.
- Has an illness, keep the student home and call the school daily to report the symptoms for Influenza tracking and attendance purposes.
