In order for your child to be able to learn and to control communicable diseases in the school it is important to keep your child home for the following reasons:
- Temperature of 100 degrees or more. Your child should be fever free (without Tylenol or Motrin) for 24 hours before returning to school.
- If your child vomited or had diarrhea during the previous evening or night, please keep them home.
- Strep throat. Your child must be on an antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Swollen, red itchy eyes which may be draining/crusty. Your child must be on an antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school for bacterial conjunctivitis and drainage free and/or a note from the doctor.
- Moist, productive cough, chest congestion, or discolored nasal discharge. However, for a mild runny/stuffy nose and mild cough it is alright to send your child to school.
- An unusual rash, a blistery rash, or a rash associated with a fever. Your child should remain at home until you have discussed the rash with your physician.
- Live head lice. Child must stay home until treated for head lice and live lice are no longer present. You must notify your school nurse that your child had lice and was treated. Your child must report to the school nurse upon return to school for a head check and must bring in the box top from the lice treatment container so we are aware of the treatment that was used. Your child may not return to school until 24 hours after being treated for lice.
A doctors note is required for all absences of five days or more!
