How to handle student illness?
A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. We suggest making a plan for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a comforting place for your child to stay if he/she is ill.
I would like to remind you of some guidelines about when to keep your child home from school.
When should I keep my student home from school?
Common cold – irritated throat, watery discharge from the nose or eyes, sneezing, chills and/or general body aches. Keep your child home if symptoms are serious enough to interfere with your child’s ability to learn. Seek care from the doctor if symptoms persist beyond 7-10 days, fever or cough producing phlegm develops, or nasal discharge becomes yellow or green.
Vomits two or more times or has diarrhea in the last 24 hours
Oral temperature equal or higher than 100 degrees (before taking medication such as Tylenol or Advil) Must be fever free for 24 hours without the aid of a fever reducing agent before returning to school.
Coughs almost constantly or complains of difficulty breathing or rapid breathing
Sores on skin or mouth that are crusty, yellow, or draining(Impetigo)
Symptoms of a contagious illness such as hand,foot and mouth disease,chicken pox, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough). May return as directed after evaluation by healthcare provider
Constant runny nose with green or yellow discharge
Unexplained skin rash (any location on body) unless evaluated by a healthcare provider with permission to return to school
