When to keep your child home

We all know that regular attendance at school is crucial to academic success.  However, there are times when it is best to keep your child home in order to let their bodies heal, and also to protect others.

​If your child is experiencing any of the following, please keep them home.

• Temperature of 100.0 or higher
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• Body rash with itching or fever
• Redness, itching, and/or "crusty" drainage from eyes
• Hospital stay and/or ER visit

Your child may be ready to return to school if:

• They are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication (ie Tylenol or Motrin)
• Free from vomiting and/or diarrhea for at least 24 hours
• Free from rash, itching or fever and has been evaluated by a healthcare professional (if needed)
• Evaluated by a healthcare professional and on prescribed medication for 24 hours (ie Antibiotics)
• Released by a healthcare professional to return to school
