With the Cold and Flu season upon us, please remember the following:

Please keep your child home if they have the following:

• Fever of 100’ or higher. 

• Vomiting or diarrhea.       

• Coughing excessively.    

• Strep throat.   *Your child must be treated with antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Eye symptoms such as redness, discharge, itching, etc.   *Your child should be evaluated by a medical provider to  

        rule out “pink eye”. If it is a confirmed case of pink eye, keep your child home until s/he has been treated for 24 hours.

• Too tired or sleepy.     *If your child is too tired/sleepy from an illness to profit from sitting in class all day.

• Any condition that you think may be serious or may be contagious to others.

Students  will need to stay home 24 hours symptom free before returning to school.  Keeping your child home when appropriate can help with your child’s return to health and learning, and can help protect other students from a contagious illness. Thank you for your help!
